Student Services
SNU Lab School provides the NILD Discovery Program. We also provide Title I and Title II educational services through our partnership with Putnam City Schools. Additionally, we support students needing social and emotional learning support through our partnership with SNU's Renew Counseling Center, all within a Christian environment.
NILD Discovery Program
Designed for students with learning challenges, our research-backed therapy targets specific brain areas contributing to deficits. This program applies research from the National Institute for Learning Development (NILD) and empowers students as lifelong learners by teaching them how to learn.
Discovery's Four Components:
Cognition: Enhancing thinking processes, our program recognizes the brain's capacity to improve through instruction.
Perception: Addressing perceptual processing challenges to support effective information reception.
Emotions: We enhance retention by fostering positive emotions and creating a positive learning environment.
Academics: Strengthening independent learning skills for proficient and efficient classroom learning.
Assessments:
We conduct various assessments, including Literacy First (K-2nd), WRAT 5, and WISC. An Educational Therapist does additional diagnostic assessments.
Additional Support Requirements:
Families supervise rhythmic writing at home on non-therapy days, which is crucial for progress.
Resources Needed at Home:
3x5 Chalkboard, chalk, and chalk holder.
Associated Program Costs:
K-2nd TEACH Program: $3,200 (4 days, 20 minutes)
3rd-8th Discovery Program: $4,800 (2 days, 80 minutes)
Reduced-cost WISC Testing is available through SNU ($250).
Families invest $250 in home resources for rhythmic writing.
Together, we unlock potential, ensuring our Lab School students thrive. Join us on this journey toward a brighter future.
