An Educational Therapist is a professional who combines educational and communication/advocacy on behalf of children, adolescents, and adults with learning disabilities or learning challenges (aetonline.org).
How can Educational Therapy Help?
Educational Therapy tutoring and coaching offer children and adults with learning challenges a wide range of intensive, individualized interventions designed for remediating learning difficulties by building skills, thinking habits, and expanding capacities.
Educational Therapy can demystify learning for families, teachers, and students thus stimulating awareness of strengths in order to implement a strengths-based curriculum which leverages areas of weakness. Students are more successful when the focus is on building capacity.
Educational Therapists design and implement instructional plans that utilize information from a variety of sources including the client's social, emotional, psycho-educational, behavioral, and neuropsychological context.
