Educational therapy is a specialized educational support process. Educational therapists focus not only on addressing current challenges but also on developing self-awareness and underlying learning skills to help students grow into more self-reliant, efficient learners. Our educational therapists are professional educators who provide one-on-one intensive intervention using a wide range of teaching strategies to meet the needs of individual students.

 

Our educational therapists work with students with many learning disabilities (LDs) including but not limited to:

• Nonverbal learning disorders

• Reading and writing difficulties (dyslexia, dysgraphia)

• Math disabilities (dyscalculia)

• Attention deficit disorder (ADHD)

• Language-processing problems

• Visual-processing problems

• Poor motivation

• Low academic self-esteem

• Poor organizational and study skills

• School and test anxiety

​

McKinna educational therapists coordinate with other professionals, teachers, and the student's family to develop a team approach to support a student's learning. They collaboratively set goals and develop an intervention plan that addresses not only academic difficulties but also psychoeducational and socioemotional aspects of lifelong learning.
