What is a Program of Excellence?

NILD grants recognition to exceptional individuals or institutional programs only after extensive evaluation of the program's efficiency and effectiveness. By reaching benchmarks and standards in areas of organization, the instructional program, educational therapist preparation and proficiency, testing/evaluations, facilities, and materials as set forth by NILD, a program demonstrates its commitment to excellent educational services for the students enrolled and their families. Recognition as an NILD Program of Excellence certifies that the NILD Educational Therapy® program has met these standards and that the NILD Educational Therapy® services being offered meet the stringent standards set by NILD.
