Educational Therapy is broken up into a minimum of three phases that work together to bring about successful cognitive, academic, and social-emotional progress.  

Role of an Educational Therapist:  

  • Performing informal assessments that take a look at differential diagnosis.

  • Synthesizing information from other specialists, teachers, parents, caregivers, and the 

    Client.

  • Interpreting self-administered assessment data and data from other sources.

  • Recognizing the presenting problems as the manifestation of the underlying learning 

    Issues.

  • Identifying and prioritizing primary versus secondary issues.

  • Anticipating problems that may emerge over time, in addition to identifying current 

    problems, as contexts and demands change.

  • Analyzing trends in academic domains in order to design a treatment plan.

  • Evaluating progress 

  • Understanding the language of Allied Professionals to effectively communicate with

    clients and students and all involved parties.

  • Consulting and collaborating with other specialists to identify additional needed services.

  • Adapting the treatment plan as needed.
