What is Educational Therapy?
Educational Therapy combines therapeutic and educational strategies for the benefit of all types of learners.
Educational Therapists (ETs) have met rigorous educational training requirements verified by the National Association of Educational Therapy.
ETs assess and generate an individualized treatment plan that incorporates data from social, emotional, psychoeducational, and neuropsychological resources.

What is the difference between a Tutor and an ET?
While a tutor generally focuses on teaching specific content matter, an educational therapist’s focus is broader.
Educational Therapists work to find why a student is struggling, looking for underlying reasons for the struggle.
