*Educational Therapists are not medical nor mental health clinicians and cannot diagnose or treat in a mental health nor medical capacity and as such do not accept insurance for services.
Educational Therapy is a form of therapy used to help individuals with learning and developmental differences, disabilities, and challenges. This form of therapy offers a wide range of intensive interventions that are designed to address social/emotional, academic, and attention-based/self-management (executive function) problems. These interventions are individualized and unique to the specific learner.
Educational therapy deals with the underlying processes of taking in information in order to think and learn. Areas addressed would include social and emotional processing, visual and auditory processing, complex language processing, long and short term memory, the executive functions such as planning, attention, emotional regulation, and more. Each person learns differently and processes information in a unique manner. By understanding the needs of each person, the educational therapist is better able to address the underlying issues that keep the person from succeeding in their academic pursuits, social lives, and in their professions. Through education and personalized interventions, Ed Therapy teaches people how to develop effective tools that help to minimize the associated frustrations and to capitalize on the gifts that arise from their differences. The process helps the client to design a personalized system of techniques and methods uniquely suited to their needs.
