Educational Therapy
An educational therapist is a professional who combines educational and therapeutic approaches for instructional support and communication/advocacy on behalf of people with learning disabilities or learning challenges.
At Learning Specialist LLC, we provide support to elementary-aged students in a variety of areas including reading, comprehension, written expression, and organizational skills. Our approach is student-centered and empowers students to develop their identities as learners. Our students feel more confident and make measurable progress in their academic skills and ability to use learning strategies at home and in school.
