    Our programs for students, parents and teachers

    Community SMARTS and SMARTS Boston are leadership and mentoring programs that help students with learning and attention differences discover their strengths and find a community of learners who understand their challenges.

    The Drive to Thrive program helps teacher and all educators understand the importance of learning strategies and executive function strategies.

    Our ongoing research

    ResearchILD continues to collect and analyze data to improve the efficacy of our programs and to provide help to all learners through research-based strategies.

    Our scholarship and awards programs

    Scholarship funds are raised each year to help families with few resources so their children can participate in our mentoring programs, receive educational support and understand their own learning profiles.

    Helping teachers and other professionals help students

    Through its publications, software and presentations ResearchILD shares its research findings, executive function strategies and other resources which will help children, adolescence and adults facing the challenge of learning and attention differences.
