Does My Child Need Educational Therapy?

You may have observed the following indicators:  

• Delay in learning language
• Difficulty maintaining concentration
• Low working memory and recall
• Inattention
• Loss of self-esteem regarding school performance.
• Resistance or avoidance of participating in regular childhood activities.
• Lack of progress at school
• Extreme amount of time and parent support to get homework tasks done.
• Challenges with completing homework, long-term tasks and preparing for exams.
• Discouragement and withdrawal.

If your child or adolescent has been identified by a specialist or school personnel, you may still find that:

• Additional remediation is necessary beyond the services offered by the school.
• Assistance is needed interpreting evaluations, academic goals and progress and would benefit from additional advocacy related to your child’s needs.
