“The results were worth it all as our son transformed into a confident and competent reader. He couldn't stop reading once he cracked the code! I recommend NILD to many others needing help for dyslexia.”
“It was a worthy investment in our girl. Kathryn exceeded our expectations in her level of commitment and helping our older teenage daughter at a critical time of growth and development.”
“Through educational therapy with Kathryn Pugh, we soon saw improvements in her attention span and cognitive abilities. Tasks that had been so difficult for her started to become easier.”
“My coach engaged me, coached me, mentored and inspired me, encouraged me, all from the comfort of my home using zoom. Using the games, EM materials, the computer, and external camera resulted in a renewed perspective and optimism for my future.”
“A while after finishing learning therapy, I am still keeping up with good habits and it's made my life at college so much easier.”
“Our son loved his time with his brain coach; it was extremely encouraging to watch him grow academically and emotionally after completing the Equipping Minds program.”
The goal of educational therapy is more than academic success. By focusing on the strengthening of foundational cognitive skills, rather than simply academic skills, educational therapy enhances the ability to learn, creating life-long, independent learners. After identifying and assessing weak cognitive functions, the educational therapist forms a specifically designed program to pinpoint and develop those weaker areas, while strengthening cognition as a whole, making learning more efficient and effective. The role of an educational therapist is not to “teach” the student what he needs to know, but rather “lead” the student to learn for himself and then together explore and reinforce the process of learning.
