What is Educational Therapy?
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. The ultimate goal of educational therapy is to foster development of self-confident, independent individuals who feel positively about themselves and their potential as lifelong learners.
Educational therapists possess a deep understanding of the social, behavioral and emotional factors that influence an individual's ability to learn. With extensive training and experience, they are highly skilled in conducting academic assessments, developing targeted intervention plans, and implementing evidence-based strategies to address challenges in literacy, composition, mathematics, executive functioning, and metacognitive skills.
A vital role of the educational therapist is to serve as a case coordinator, facilitating collaboration among families, educators, and other allied professionals to ensure a cohesive and comprehensive support system.
