Bio:   I am a licensed NILD Educational Therapist with training also in Feuerstein Cognitive Enrichment and Equipping Minds programs. Through cognitive development activities and structured literacy, I desire to help students increase their learning potential and grow into independent learners, enabling them to achieve academic success they never thought possible. I have 25 years of experience in education, both in the classroom and in homeschooling my five children through high school.

Bio:   Brenda Weiland trained to work with adolescents in her undergraduate studies. When she found that many problems in the teen years had their roots in the preschool years, she completed an AMS preprimary Montessori certification program. When her own children had learning difficulties in school, she attended graduate school and earned degrees in Educational Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, and Education of the Exceptional Child. She understands the dynamics that families with special needs go through and enjoys the transformational process that NILD brings to students and their families.

Bio:   Growing up, I struggled in school, but in high school I tutored my peers and became passionate about learning. For 40 years I have invested in others’ academic success. From bush Alaska to the jungles of Costa Rica, God gave me opportunities to teach elementary school, special education, English as a second language, homeschool our three children, and mentor homeschool moms while tutoring their children. My desire as an educational therapist and certified teacher is to serve children and adults as they overcome learning challenges and become confident and competent lifelong learners.

Bio:   Hello! I am a teacher turned homeschool mama to my three kids. I have homeschooled for ten years. I also teach in the co-op setting to about 50 students each year. I teach mostly reading intervention with phonemic awareness and literature classes for upper elementary. I have a BA in English Literature and a M.Ed. in Secondary Education. Before I had children of my own, I taught classes at a live in teen rehab in Los Angeles. I love learning and feel that first, I'm always a student. My youngest was diagnosed with severe dyslexia and having a NILD therapist has made such a difference and I'm eager to learn to continue to help her and others!
