Why Ed Therapy?

Therapy sessions provide a wide range of intensive, individualized interventions designed to remediate learning difficulties. It is a skill-oriented process. The purpose of educational therapy is to improve basic learning skills so the client can learn and retain content on his/her own. This often includes strengthening areas of perceptual and cognitive difficulty as well as critical thinking. The methods and programs used are research-based and uniquely selected for each client.

Therapy sessions include developing the client’s use of strengths to foster learning as well as helping the client understand the social and emotional aspects that impact learning. If a client does not already have the results of a psychological-educational evaluation, this may be advised. However, depending upon the scope and level of learning challenges, assessments administered during educational therapy sessions maybe provide sufficient information to develop an intervention plan.
