Educational Therapy
WHAT IS EDUCATIONAL THERAPY?
Educational Therapy offers children and adolescents with learning disabilities and other developmental delays a wide range of intensive, individualised interventions.
Educational Therapy is not the same thing as tutoring. While tutoring will provide additional practise in specific subject areas, Educational therapy combines a variety of approaches to provide comprehensive treatment and intensive interventions to work on foundational skills.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE SPECIAL EDUCATION THERAPIST?
Special Education therapists work with clients at different age levels with various learning issues including developmental delays, Autism, ADHD, and other learning disabilities. They work from a strengths-based, holistic and person-centred approach, with the aim of empowering people with disabilities to maximise the quality of their life through capacity building and skills development.

Some of the areas therapists address include functional literacy and numeracy, organisational skills, low motivation and self esteem, communication and social skills deficits and many other areas that can affect a student's ability to participate in the community.
