Finding academic help for a child with Autism can be challenging...

There is still a significant lack of awareness and understanding about Autism. As a result, parents may struggle to find educators or professionals with the necessary knowledge and experience to help.

Finding the right educational program or intervention that provides the highly individualized attention a student with Autism requires is challenging.

How is NILD's approach to Autism different?

At NILD, our educational therapies target the root issues of Autism, helping learners develop confidence in the classroom and preparing them to succeed in life.

NILD is not an Autism curriculum or tutoring system - it is an Educational Therapy System that focuses on the whole child: cognition, perception, academics, and emotions.

What is the National Institute for Learning Development?

Since 1973, NILD has trained 10,000+ educators and helped 100,000+ children become confident, independent learners.

NILD is more than traditional tutoring. Tutoring often focuses only on subject matter content, while NILD's therapies use subject matter as the learning vehicle to develop cognition and confidence.

We focus on root learning issues, helping learners overcome these issues by developing new learning paths. Our innovative educational therapies build efficient learning processes, teaching students how to think independently.

Our process focuses on the whole child: cognition, perception, academics, and emotions.

By developing these four key components, students more effectively overcome their limitations and thrive in the classroom
