Educational Therapist at School

Figuring out what is standing in your child’s way to success.

Children struggling and falling behind in school are not happy children. Learning for kids with learning disorders or attention problems is unusually difficult; they often suffer for several years before parents and teachers figure out something is in their way. Once a child struggles in school, it tends to affect their self-esteem and overall well-being.  

There are several primary areas an ET needs to address before learning can begin. For example, have they developed behaviors that hide their issues? Start with the skills a child lacks and use different strategies to build them. This could mean planning a task and getting organized to get over the hump of just starting. Kids also need to understand the why and point of their efforts and why practicing these skills support learning. This promotes future behavior by determining which strategies to use for a given task in front of them. Finally, routines start once practiced skills feel like habits. Routines support children to get started without wasting a lot of attention and willpower, convincing themselves to sit down and work.

Building Positive Relationships 

Once an educational therapist builds a positive “working relationship” with their students, the child has also learned to build a positive relationship with another adult, which crosses over to many areas of their lives long term.
