NILD Search and Teach
What is it and how will my child benefit?
NILD SEARCH and TEACH is an early intervention program developed to meet the needs of young children and allow them to meet their educational needs before they experience the frustrations and anxiety associated with failure of learning.
We believe that all students can learn and that the brain can be modified at all stages of development through mediation.
At Blossoming To Potential we are highly trained NILD Educational therapists who went through rigorous graduate-level courses. We are mentored and participate in professional development. We are passionate, skilled, empathetic, seek to strengthen cognitive weaknesses, instil confidence and competence, and transform struggling learners into lifelong learners.
The Teach Programme prioritizes pre-reading tasks from simple to complex and organises them into five clusters that mesh with the SEARCH components.
Visual
Auditory
Intermodal skill clusters
Visual-motor
Body-image
