Educational Therapy

Educational Therapy (ET) is a practice that works with students with learning differences. Educational Therapy incorporates the understanding of HOW students learn by presenting explicit instruction to students with various learning profiles. Educational Therapy differs from tutoring because educational therapists have extensive training in conducting academic assessments, understanding how to read/interpret psycho-educational and neuropsychological evaluations, and training in specific intervention and remediation programs.    All our Educational Therapists have Masters degrees in Special Education, Reading Intervention, or Education.  

The Association of Educational Therapists states, "Educational therapy is the practice of providing personalized remedial instruction to children and adults with learning challenges, including but not limited to dyslexia, ADHD, executive functioning deficits, and language, visual, and auditory processing issues. They have extensive training and experience in administering academic assessments, developing intervention plans, and implementing strategies to address challenges with reading, writing, spelling, math organization, and study skills. A vital role of the educational therapist is to serve as case manager, working in collaboration with family, teachers, and other professionals involved in the client’s life." (www.aetonline.org)
