Professional Development Opportunities

Regional Conferences

Two-day conferences are held around the country from November through March. These conferences are designed to provide on-going professional development for NILD educational therapists and to give all educators and parents a better understanding of learning disabilities and NILD Educational Therapy®.

Consultant Services

NILD consultants are available for in-service workshops in order to introduce or to further general understanding of the NILD program or learning disabilities in general within a school community. In-services for board members are highly encouraged, especially for new programs.

Educational Therapist Certification

NILD educational therapist certification is offered to ensure adequate and active professional development for each educational therapist. NILD educational therapists are eligible for (PCET) Professionally Certified Educational Therapist certification after successful completion of all three training courses. Certification runs for one five year period from date of approved certification.

 

"I wanted to personally thank you for the in-service you presented for us.  It was a joy to know that my whole school heard your presentation and was challenged to think of learning in a new and deeper way.  What you shared that day resonated in many hearts; teachers are doing things they've never done before."
