What is Educational Therapy?
Educational Therapy offers children and adults with learning disabilities and other learning differences a wide range of intensive, individualized interventions designed to remediate learning challenges.
Educational therapy demystifies learning differences and stimulates clients’ awareness of their strengths so they can use those strengths to their best advantage to overcome or compensate for areas of weakness.
What’s the difference between an educational therapist and a tutor?
While a tutor generally focuses on teaching specific subject matter, an educational therapist’s focus is broader. Educational therapists work as a team with parents, teachers, and other professionals concerned with the student’s learning, and focus on remediation by building underlying learning skills.
Identifying Challenges
The primary goal of educational therapy is to foster self-confident, independent learners who understand their learning profiles and can advocate for themselves.
Educational Therapy can benefit struggling students by addressing:
Academic skills
- Reading
- Writing
- Math
- Study skills
- Organization
- Homework completion
- Critical thinking
Social emotional-educational aspects of learning
