What is Educational Therapy? Educational Therapy is an educational intervention that evaluates, de�nes and addresses an individual’s pattern of learning strengths and de�ciencies. It’s the practice of providing individualized research-based remedial and compensatory learning strategies to enhance students’ learning and academic outcomes. Self-advocacy skills are taught throughout the process.

Educational Therapy vs. Tutoring Tutoring focuses on re-teaching academic subjects. This can be bene�cial for students who are behind, need a little extra support to keep up, or have speci�c needs in particular subjects and who want to get ahead.

Educational Therapy addresses underlying causes of learning challenges and remediates these causes using scienti�cally-proven and research-based methods such as diagnostic teaching. Weak processing skills are identi�ed and addressed.

Tutoring is product oriented and focuses on content, while educational therapy is more process oriented focusing on how we receive, process, and express new information.
