New Day Learning & Therapy Clinic (NDL) is a multidisciplinary learning and therapy clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, supporting children and young people with diverse learning and developmental needs.
Founded in 2019 by a group of educators and therapists, NDL was created as a small and supportive community where students can learn, develop and grow. Our approach brings education and therapy together, with individualized learning, small class sizes and an interdisciplinary team working collaboratively with students and families.
We support neurodiverse learners with a wide range of strengths and needs, including students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Down syndrome, developmental differences, physical disabilities and other additional learning needs. Each learner is considered as an individual, with support guided by their learning profile, communication needs, strengths and goals.
We believe in a quality education based on the UK English National Curriculum that meets the standard of our international and local community. Our teachers are qualified and experienced professionals in their field. Our therapists are licensed and have experience working in children in a school setting. Our full-day classroom programs currently support learners from approximately 4.5 years of age, while individual therapy and specialist services may be available for younger children depending on their needs. NDL supports children and young people across different stages of learning and development.
Our Full-Day Educational Program
Our full-day learning program provides an individualized and supportive educational environment for children and young people with diverse learning and developmental needs. Students follow an adapted UK National Curriculum, with learning tailored to their individual strengths, needs and Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals.
Small class sizes and a maximum student-to-teacher ratio of 3:1 allow our educators to provide meaningful individual attention while creating opportunities for students to learn alongside their peers. Teaching incorporates multisensory approaches, hands-on experiences and project-based learning to make learning engaging, accessible and relevant to everyday life.
Alongside academic learning, we place a strong emphasis on communication, social development, life skills and independence. Our educators and therapists work collaboratively to support each learner across different areas of development, helping students build skills they can use both within the learning environment and in their wider community.
Smaller class sizes also create more opportunities for:
- Differentiated instruction tailored to each learner
- Increased engagement and participation
- Stronger relationships between students and staff
- Real-time support for regulation, communication, and social interaction
Our classrooms are designed around consistent routines and support focus, making them especially beneficial for neurodiverse learners who thrive in predictable, low-stimulation environments.
Through this intentional structure, students are able to build independence, develop essential life skills, and experience success both within the classroom and beyond.
Our Interdisciplinary Team
At NDL, we believe meaningful progress happens when professionals, families and students work together. Our interdisciplinary team brings together special education teachers, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, literacy specialists and other professionals who collaborate to support each learner’s individual needs.
Through shared goals, ongoing communication and coordinated planning, our team connects learning and therapy to provide consistent support across academic development, communication, social skills, emotional wellbeing, independence and everyday life.
Families are an important part of this process. We value open communication and collaboration between home, the learning environment and therapy, helping us better understand each learner and work towards goals that are meaningful to them and their family.
Our International Community
NDL is home to a diverse international and local community. Our students and families come from many different countries and cultural backgrounds, reflecting the international community of Bangkok.
Our educators and therapists also bring experience from Thailand and abroad, creating a multicultural learning environment where different backgrounds, languages and experiences are valued. We understand that every family brings its own experiences and perspectives, and we aim to create a welcoming community where students and families feel a sense of belonging.
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure that students grow to their full potential as independent citizens of the world.
Wellbeing
We provide a safe, supportive and welcoming environment where each learner is respected, understood and encouraged to develop confidence in who they are.
Learning
We create individualized and meaningful learning experiences that encourage curiosity, engagement, resilience and collaboration while recognizing that every student learns differently.
Independence
We support students in developing communication, self-awareness, practical life skills and greater independence, helping them build skills that are meaningful both at NDL and in their wider community.
A Small Community With Individualized Support
We believe children and young people thrive when they feel understood, supported and connected to the people around them. At NDL, we take the time to get to know each learner and work closely with families to create meaningful opportunities for learning, development and greater independence.
Our small community allows relationships to grow naturally and gives students the space and support they need to be themselves while working towards their individual goals.
