Does My Child Need Educational Therapy?

If you’ve noticed any of the following signs, your child may benefit from educational therapy:

  • Sustained Attention Deficits: Difficulty maintaining focus on tasks or activities
  • Language Acquisition Delays: Slower-than-expected development of language skills
  • Impaired Working Memory: Challenges with holding and manipulating information in mind
  • Attentional Dysregulation: Difficulty with consistent attention and task engagement
  • Academic Self-Esteem Decline: Decreased confidence and self-worth related to academic performance
  • Avoidance Behaviors: Resistance to or avoidance of typical childhood activities and responsibilities
  • Academic Underachievement: Persistent lack of progress in school despite effort
  • Homework-Related Strain: Requiring an excessive amount of time and parental support to complete assignments
  • Executive Functioning Challenges: Struggles with organizing, planning, and completing homework, long-term projects, and exam preparation
  • Emotional Withdrawal: Experiences of discouragement and withdrawal from social or academic activities

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.

15-20% of the population has a language-based learning disability. Of the students with specific learning disabilities receiving special education services, 70-80% have deficits in reading. Dyslexia is the most common cause of reading, writing and spelling difficulties.

The International Dyslexia Association (IDA)

74% of the children who are poor readers in 3rd grade remain poor readers in the 9th grade, many because they do not receive appropriate Structured Literacy instruction with the needed intensity or duration.

Executive function skills enable us to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and manage multiple tasks. Up to 90 percent of kids with ADHD struggle with executive dysfunction, which impairs goal-directed behavior.

1 in 42 public school students have a 504 plan. The percentage of kids with 504 plans has more than doubled in the past decade. Like IEPs, these plans provide accommodations for kids with disabilities. But unlike IEPs, they don’t provide specialized instruction. And schools don’t have to classify kids with 504 plans by disability type.
