Educational Therapy vs. Tutoring
What’s the difference?
Tutoring focuses on helping students improve in specific academic subjects or skills, such as reading or math.
Tutors often work within the framework of the school curriculum, providing additional practice and instruction to help students achieve better grades and better understand grade level content.
Educational therapy goes beyond academic support.
Educational therapists:
address the underlying cognitive, socio-emotional, behavioral, and executive functioning issues that contribute to learning difficulties, which in turn supports the development of the whole child and helps to provide a more holistic and individualized intervention approach.
provide individualized intensive intervention for clients who present with a wide range of learning difficulties including: literacy-related challenges including dyslexia and writing difficulties, dyscalculia and/or other math-related difficulties, ADHD and/or attentional issues; and executive functioning.
create and implement an intervention plan that utilizes information from a variety of sources including the client’s educational, social, emotional, psychological, and neuropsychological contexts.
teach strategies for academic, social, emotional, behavioral, attentional, and metacognitive growth, including all aspects of executive functioning, to enhance learning within and outside of academic settings.
