For anyone who is unfamiliar with our work as Educational Therapists, the term ‘Educational Therapy’ may seem confusing. The easiest way to understand what the role of an Educational Therapist is is to break these terms down into ‘education’ and ‘therapy’. When someone is in therapy, the aim is to gain skills that help to eradicate any unhelpful habits or traits that are preventing them from reaching their goals. The premise of Educational Therapy is much the same, only it is based within the realms of education. In essence, Educational Therapists work with children within an educational environment, to help them with any challenges they are facing in their learning. Ultimately, the goal of Early Intervention is to empower parents and their children through tools and techniques that will help them overcome or best manage any challenges they are experiencing within their learning or development, and to provide the best possible foundation for the child’s future progress.
