What are the benefits of educational therapy?

• Private academic support

• Individualized intervention and personalized goals

• Students gain understanding of their strengths, and use them to support their areas of challenge in learning

• Students become more confident and better advocates for themselves in the classroom

• The earlier that students can understand themselves as learners, the more successful they will be in their entire educational career and beyond

• Collaboration between all professionals working with the student

What is the difference between Educational Therapy and Tutoring?

While tutors can have various backgrounds and degrees, educational therapists are trained to understand how student’s brains process information, and they apply this knowledge to individually assess and remediate targeted areas. Educational Therapists are required to have a master’s degree in an education related field and as well as an educational therapy certification.

Throughout the 50-minute sessions, each student’s strengths are highlighted and their interests and passions are integrated. Educational therapy builds a student’s awareness of their strengths so they can use those strengths to support their areas of challenge in learning.

At Key Learning, researched-based movement, multi-sensory learning, and visualization are integrated into every aspect of therapy. 

Key Learning is committed to clear communication with the family, teachers, and other specialists working with the student. Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team is an essential part of the educational therapy process.
