Where student potential connects to academic success

"Our child would not be where they are today - a confident and thriving student - without Kim’s love and dedication.”

Your child does not have to struggle.

Academic challenges can be lonely and isolating for both students and parents. When traditional tutoring is not sufficient, you need someone to come alongside you to evaluate the root of the difficulty and structure your child’s learning potential. Your Think Link provides educational therapy and consulting to help your child thrive in the classroom.

NILD (National Institute of Learning Development) Services

Through prescriptive remediation, NILD looks at the root of the learning challenges to develop targeted interventions to strengthen cognitive deficits to help your child succeed academically.

Academic Testing

Your Think Link is able to administer the Woodcock-Johnson IV Tests of Achievement and the GORT (Gray Oral Reading Test) to better assess a student’s current academic level, which can be especially useful tools in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consulting

With a wide range of professional contacts in psychology, occupational therapy, audiology, tutoring, and speech therapy, Your Think Link can advise on next best steps for your child and their educational plan.

What Parents Are Saying

  • “Our son has been working with Mrs. Collins twice a week for several years administering the NILD program. Prior to starting that program and after 18 months, he was re-evaluated by an independent psychologist who administered standardized tests. Our son’s scores improved in every area tested. We are so thankful for Kim and all she has done for our child.”

  • “Her results are simply unmatched. With her ability to establish relationships and build quick rapport with students, Kim creates a safe environment for them to grow and see results remarkably fast. She builds confidence in her students, allowing them to learn how to advocate for themselves. It is evident she loves her job and thrives on student improvement.”

  • “Our family was dismayed to receive a diagnosis of severe dyslexia for our child. We looked at our options but even specialty schools were hesitant to take on our challenge. God blessed us with Mrs. Kim Collins. During the trying time of virtual COVID schooling and intensive therapy with Mrs. Kim Collins, we got our daughter to grade level. Her creative, encouraging and firm technique empowered new brain pathways for our child. We are so grateful to have Mrs. Kim Collins on our child’s team!”

  • “Our 12 year old son has worked with Kim for several years and his development has sincerely exceeded our expectations. Kim’s approach and attitude is what makes her so successful. She is kind, thoughtful, patient and methodical. She’s an open-minded, life-learner and - understanding that each child is unique - eagerly educated herself to best meet our son’s needs. Our son would not be where he is today - a confident and thriving student - without Kim’s love and dedication.”

  • “Three years ago, we made the choice to enter into the then unknown world of NILD Therapy. We, being my son, myself and Kim Collins, have walked this path together over these past 3 years which have been filled with some anxiousness, some frustrations and some amazing successes. I cannot think of anyone else that we could have been so blessed to have enter our life to help us than Kim.”

  • “Mrs. Collins has been a blessing to our family. Between the skills and techniques she taught my son and her caring and compassionate personality, she helped him excel from reading below his grade-level to becoming a straight ‘A’ honor student. I truly appreciate her partnership in my son’s education.”

  • “Kim Collins cares about our son. I am astonished by how much devotion and energy she consistently dedicates to him. Kim creates lessons tailored specifically for our son’s needs, and the results are incredible. In 7 months, he is now reading at or above grade level, and his handwriting is clear and legible. Her guidance has also increased his attention span, ability to focus and his confidence. We are so grateful to have found Kim, and you will be, too!”
