Finding academic help for a child with Executive Function Disorder can be challenging...
Executive Function Disorder (EFD) is a cognitive impairment affecting a child's ability to plan, organize, initiate, and complete task. As a result, children with EFD struggle with tasks that require sustained attention, working memory, impulse control, and problem-solving skills.
It can be difficult to know why a child is struggling at school and find the right professional help that will provide appropriate acommodations and support services for their child. Without the right support a child can quickly fall behind an begin to struggle with their confidence and self-esteem.

7 Questions that indicate if your child has potential learning challenges.
"We saw measurable improvement in our daughter within the first year of her NILD educational therapy. Her deficits were being strengthened as she came closer to the goal of being independent. Her grades began to improve to an A-B status without tutoring or parental supervision. I am most thankful for the way NILD has empowered Dannika with learning strategies that have given her this independence."
"By the time I was in high school I was no longer getting C’s and D’s on my report cards, I was earning A’s and B’s! School was no longer a daunting task, it was a challenge I felt ready to face. I am proud to say that at the end of 11th grade I graduated from the NILD program. This program has helped me to face life's struggles differently. Instead of beginning with a defeated attitude I dive in and try my best, relying on the things I have learned. "
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 process, teaching students how to think independently.
Our process focuses on the whole child: cognition, perception, academics, and emotions.
