and
Friday, September 28, 2007 - 8:00 - 9:15 AM

In conjunction with NILD Canada's 2007 Conference, we are also offering SEARCH and TEACH Training. This is an early intervention program developed to meet the needs of at-risk children (5-6 years) before they experience the frustration of failure.

For more information and to register for this program see our website www.nildcanada.org.

Based on extensive interdisciplinary research on the diagnosis and treatment of learning disorders, Dr. Rosa Hagin shares how SEARCH & TEACH^©, developed by Archie A. Silver, M.D. (child psychiatrist), Rosa A. Hagin, Ph.D. (psychologist), and the staff of the Learning Disorders Unit at New York University School of Medicine, is a two-fold approach offering educators an effective tool for catching learning disabilities and treating them at the beginning of a child's academic career. It is now being implemented in diverse school settings throughout the US. NILD offers a SEARCH & TEACH^© workshop for educators who work with children from pre-school to first grade. Read Dr. Hagin's article and find out why SEARCH & TEACH^© is a powerful tool for identifying and preventing various learning problems in small children.

SEARCH & TEACH^© is an early intervention program developed to meet the educational needs of young learners before they experience the frustration of learning failure. This differs from NILD Educational Therapy®, which was designed to help students who have documented learning disabilities, and in many cases have already experienced frustration and failure in the regular classroom. The program is based on extensive interdisciplinary research on the diagnosis and treatment of learning disorders at the Learning Disorders Unit at New York University Medical Center.

SEARCH is a 20-minute individual test designed to identify 5 and 6-year-olds who are vulnerable to learning difficulty, and to provide profiles of individual strengths and weaknesses in the readiness skills necessary for reading success.

TEACH is a program of 55 learning activities called 'tasks,' carefully developed and tested in a four-year investigation of pre-reading skills to address the needs revealed by SEARCH. TEACH is generally offered to individuals or very small groups of children with like needs in a center, resource room, or small area within a classroom.
