My Approach

As an Educational Therapist, my dedication lies in empowering children of all ages to acquire independence and confidence throughout their educational journey while enjoying a safe and engaging environment.

 

I design personalized intervention plans, catering to each client's unique needs and fostering success and skill development over time. Employing a multi-sensory approach allows me to address diverse learning styles effectively.

 

As the case manager, I collaborate closely with families and allied professionals. Establishing connections with the child and the family is integral to acknowledging and celebrating each client's strengths and instilling the courage to confront challenges.

 

The ultimate objective is for your child to leave each session confident and accomplished.

EDUCATIONAL THERAPIST VS. A TUTOR?

"While a tutor generally focuses on teaching specific subject matter, an educational therapist’s focus is broader. Educational therapists work as a team with parents, teachers, and other professionals to set goals and develop an intervention plan that addresses not only academic difficulties, but also psycho-educational and socio-emotional aspects of life-long learning through an eclectic combination of individualized intervention strategies."
