What is Educational Therapy?
Educational therapy is not the same as tutoring. The instruction provided at school may not be enough to help your child, teen, or university aged child to succeed.
Educational therapists work to help build the academic skills and self confidence required to succeed in school.
Students of all ages, with any learning potential can benefit (from elementary to university aged).
Our educational therapist has extensive and diverse experience in the fields of education and psychology.
Skills are taught to children and young adults either individually (1:1) or in a group setting with the goal of strengthening thinking and learning skills and help promote academic success and confidence.
Our Custom Educational Support Services include:
- Dynamic assessment and cognitive educational therapy services
- Individual and group educational therapy (Study Skills, Exam taking strategies, Essay writing support, preparing for exams/essays)
- Executive functioning support (Organizing, planning, and prioritizing. How to start and stay on task)
- Post Secondary Navigation and Consultation (Assisting high school and early post-secondary students, and parents, with course selection and post-secondary pathways. Providing guidance for university/college students seeking to change direction.)
