The focus in educational therapy is to strengthen the underlining causes of learning difficulties rather than simply treating the symptoms.  A learning disability is an area of weakness or inefficiency in brain function that significantly hinders our ability to learn.  

​

Students with learning disabilities may experience an imbalance in their own ability levels. They are very good at some things, very poor at others, and feel the tension between what they can and cannot do. Educational therapy will assist in easing this tension.

​

Educational therapy, aims to develop successful, independent learners, and focuses on developing four key components:

 

• cognition

• perception

• academics

• emotions

​

The goal of educational therapy is to help students develop tools of independent learning in the classroom and in life.
