Educational Therapy treats the underlying causes of learning difficulties rather than simply treating the symptoms. It is an intense mediated approach to intervention which strengthens areas that are weak.  The goal of Educational Therapy is to help students develop tools for independent learning in the classroom and in life.

People with learning disabilities have average to superior intelligence. Many are gifted in math, science, fine arts, journalism, and other creative fields.  However, their tremendous strengths are offset by noticeable weaknesses - an inability to read or write, memory problems, or difficulty understanding what is heard or seen.

A learning disability is an area of weakness or inefficiency in brain function that significantly hinders our ability to learn or to function in life.
