What is Educational Therapy?
According to the Association of Educational Therapists:
"Educational Therapy offers children and adults with learning disabilities and other learning challenges a wide range of intensive, individualized interventions designed to remediate learning problems...
Educational therapists create and implement a treatment plan that utilizes information from a variety of sources including the client’s social, emotional, psycho-educational, and neuropsychological context."
Educational therapy is not tutoring. Tutoring typically works on an academic subject area, whereas educational therapy works on the underlying learning skills or remediation skills. As an educational therapist, it is my job to give the student the learning skills such as reading decoding, so that they can comprehend the reading given in their classes so that they can learn alongside their peers or executive functioning skills so that they can organize and manage their own materials.
