One family's experience with NILD ...
" My homeschooled teenage son L. has benefitted so much from Anne’s NILD therapy over the last two years.  As one would expect, the therapy has focused on the skills that are the most frustrating for him, but Anne has relentlessly pushed him forward little by little.  She is patient and fun for him to work with, but also very persistent regarding the details of the program and his efforts during class and with homework. If work was not getting done, she always carefully investigated the reason with me, and we made the necessary adjustments.  Although she always encouraged L. to work past his frustration, she also looked for therapeutic ways to handle every hurdle, such as changing the way letters are formed, or using a special pencil grip. Overall, he has gone from resisting reading, struggling to write sentences, and failing to follow multi-step instructions to reading fluently, writing essays of several paragraphs, and being less easily frustrated with various mental tasks.  Now when L. encounters something in his daily life that is challenging for him, he has an increased ability to analyze and strategize for himself. He has also been able to successfully join a music program at a local university, which I attribute to the skills he has gained through Anne’s work with him."--BD, mother
