Rx Interventions

Do you know students who do not have a diagnosis or a psycho-educational assessment, but do require some explicit support in reading, writing or math?

Rx Interventions are designed to provide intervention in an individual or small group setting to students whose basic reading, writing or math skills are below expected standards. Each Rx intervention targets specific areas using NILD’s methods of mediation, Socratic questioning and dialogue to strengthen students’ cognitive functions and thinking skills.

Rx for Math

Depending on the need of the student, the dynamic intervention known as Rx for Math:

  • Builds and strengthens number sense, math fluency, math vocabulary, and problem-solving strategies.
  • Challenges students to apply their growing understanding of number sense to novel problem-solving activities that challenge thinking and reasoning.
  • Gives hands-on, research-based, number sense activities to be utilized as the core content.
  • Creates deeper mathematical thinking for students by strengthening students’ conceptual understanding, computational fluency, and mathematical reasoning skills.
  • Uses Socratic questioning and strengthens cognitive functions and develops self-regulation.
  • Provides a safe mathematical community where productive disposition, self-efficacy, a sense of belonging and mathematical exploration is encouraged.

Rx for Reading

This explicit and systematic intervention focuses on five essential components of reading:

  • Phonemic awareness
  • Phonics
  • Fluency
  • Vocabulary
  • Reading comprehension

Learners are given the opportunity to work in a safe group setting that effectively and efficiently develops decoding and encoding skills through a creative, constructive, and comprehensive approach.

Rx for Writing

A.I.M. Educational Therapy offers yet another dynamic small-group intervention specifically intended for students in grades 4-12 whose basic written expression skills are below expected standards. Rx for Writing builds and strengthens:

  • grammar
  • writing mechanics
  • semantics
  • syntax
  • composition writing skills with an emphasis on the writing process Language and higher-level thinking skills are developed and supported in this interactive, small-group intervention that covers research-based writing content while mediation, Socratic questioning, and the strengthening of cognitive functions will serve as the core methodology.
