Educational Therapy vs. Tutoring
Educational Therapy
An educational therapist must have a minimum of three years classroom teaching experience, a Master's degree in education or special education and complete a certificated educational therapist program before they can practice with students. An Ed Therapist collaboratively sets goals with each student and develops an intervention plan that addresses academic difficulties and psycho-educational and socio-emotional aspects of life-long learning. An Ed Therapist can provide assessments to measure your child's ability and also demystify other professionals evaluations, making it user-friendly for all adults involved in the child's education.
Tutoring
A tutor can be anyone from a high school student to a retired teacher who frequently supports with classwork or homework and commonly uses traditional teaching methods to teach specific subject matter. They may or may not possess the necessary training and expertise needed to address a child with specific learning needs.
