Educational Therapy is a form of therapy used to treat individuals with learning differences, disabilities, and challenges. This form of therapy offers a wide range of intensive interventions that are designed to resolve learners' learning problems. These interventions are individualized and unique to the specific learner.

Educational therapists collaborate with all the significant people concerned with the student’s learning, and they focus not only on remediation but also on building self-awareness and underlying learning skills to help clients become more self-reliant, efficient learners.

While a tutor generally focuses on teaching specific subjects, an educational therapist’s focus is broader. Check out Understood.org's breakdown of the two roles.

A: No, we are not trained to diagnose learning disabilities or other conditions. However, we can refer you for a neuropsychological evaluation if needed. At Activated Minds Educational Therapy, we focus on assessing students' skills for instructional purposes. Our evaluations include areas such as reading, spelling, reading comprehension, and executive functioning skills. The information gathered from these assessments helps us develop personalized instructional plans and provide tailored recommendations to support each student's educational journey.
