What is Educational Therapy?

Educational therapy is a personalized, intensive intervention that teaches individuals the skills they need to access their curriculum or succeed in their workplace. It leverages students' strengths to build plans that help them grow into successful learners. Unlike tutoring, which focuses on helping students with their schoolwork, educational therapy teaches the skills required to become an independent learner and supports students by defining and implementing accommodations or modifications as needed.
