Educational Therapy

Educational therapy is a specialized therapy that includes a wide range of remedial interventions for children facing scholastic backwardness, learning disabilities/difficulties like dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and attention related problems like ADHD (Inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, restlessness) etc. When children face difficulty learning in school, it may take a toll on their self-esteem and confidence. They might start thinking that something is wrong with them. A child who is falling behind in academics such as facing difficulty in reading, writing, solving basic math problems, not able to pay attention in class etc. may struggle for years before the parents or teachers figure out that something is blocking the child’s learning. These challenges can be ideally mitigated by an Educational Therapist.

Educational Therapy includes set of tools and techniques which help children facing learning and attention related issues on how to cope with it and be independent in life. Educational Therapist’s main focus is to work on a child’s Cognitive abilities, Perception, Academics and Emotional aspects. These interventions are done on one-to-one basis because such children need individual attention which helps them to focus and understand the concepts in their own pace. ET also recommends an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for each child depending upon their needs. These therapies are also helpful for children with behavioral and emotional problems
