What is an educational therapist?
An educational therapist is a professional who combines educational and therapeutic approaches for evaluation, remediation, case management, and communication/advocacy for children and adults with learning disorders. An educational therapist can help with the specific challenges inherent in certain learning differences, as well as specific academic content.
What is the difference between and educational therapist and a tutor?
An educational therapist provides individualized intensive intervention, conducts formal and informal assessment of academic skills, and utilizes specific, and when appropriate, alternative teaching strategies. An educational therapist also can provide case management for clients with a wide range of learning disabilities and learning issues by coordinating with the student’s team of teachers, parents, and allied professionals.
A tutor typically provides assistance with homework and teaches children requiring private instruction in specific subject matter. More often than not, the scope of practice of educational therapy is broader than that of tutoring.
