NILD GROUP EDUCATIONAL THERAPY COURSE (2 days)

There are currently no upcoming Workshops available for registration of this type. If you believe this is in error please Contact Us.

Description

During the Group Educational Therapy (GET) workshop, NILD educational therapists are trained to adapt and implement the five core techniques for small-group instruction with four to six students. Developing peer mediation enhances students’ self-regulation skills, facilitates social learning and cooperation abilities, and promotes interactive language among peers. With Group Educational Therapy (GET), the impact of NILD’s intervention expands—reaching more students while reducing costs for families.

Workshop Objectives:

General: Successful completion of this workshop will enable the NILD Level II (or higher) trained Educational Therapists to identify and assess student needs and utilize the group model of educational therapy (GET) to teach students how to learn and succeed in the classroom directly through academics and indirectly for social skills.

Specific: Upon completion of this workshop, the therapist will be able to:

  1. Communicate an understanding of the differences between group and individualized educational therapy.
  2. Demonstrate an ability to work with groups of 4-6 students in the five core NILD techniques.
  3. Communicate the theories of mediated learning in a group setting.
  4. Design a plan for group implementation that would meet the learning needs of a specific group of students.
