We can help in any of these areas:
What We Do

Use both formal and informal assessments to learn about a child's specific strengths and challenges, ultimately using their strengths to overcome their unique challenges.
- 2
Target psycho-educational and social emotional goals when appropriate and when impacting academics.
- 3
Consider the impact of many variables on a child's learning experience and success, including school environment, family dynamics, and community expectations.
- 4
Teach skills and strategies that will help kids better manage attention and learning while at school.
Educational Therapy vs. Tutoring
Educational Therapy
- Service provided by a certified therapist who has undergone supervised therapy practice
- Involves individualized treatment plans and alternative presentation methods to facilitate deeper, long-term learning
- Additional training in understanding learning disabilities, educational psychology, academic assessment, and intervention strategies
Tutoring
- Utilizes the same teaching strategies as the classroom
- Focuses on one subject area to improve grades, review coursework, and complete homework
- Great for children who learn well in school but proven to be ineffective in treating learning disabilities
