Frequently Asked Questions:

01 /
What is Educational Therapy?

After spending some time getting to know your learner's needs and areas of challenge, we will work together to develop systems of organization that work for them, working with time management tools and strategies to support their success in managing assignments and other tasks.

02 /
How does Executive Function coaching work?
05 /

No. We can begin to work together without an official diagnosis of a learning challenge.  If teachers and parents have identified that a student is struggling with Executive Function or academic skills, we can work together to develop systems of organization that work for student and family, and to improve their academic skills.

Does my child need a diagnosis to work with you?

I utilize several informal reading and writing assessment tools as well as the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-Fourth Edition (WIAT-4) to measure students' listening, speaking, reading, writing and mathematics skills.  

04 /
What types of assessments do you perform?

Educational therapy is the clinical practice of utilizing specific methods, strategies, tools and approaches to help support academic success in students. These strategies are based upon the individual's specific learning profile, strengths and weaknesses.

Educational therapy is for students who may have learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, auditory processing deficiencies, language processing deficiencies, vocabulary weakness, visual processing problems, math disabilities, or difficulties in phonetic reading, reading comprehension, critical thinking inferential skills, written expression, organization and time management skills, memory weakness, low self esteem, test taking anxiety. While every student with learning challenges is different, the goal of educational therapy is to address and remediate whatever is interfering with a student reaching his highest level of proficiency.
