Therapy & Support

EDUCATIONAL THERAPY

Educational Therapy is designed for children with learning disabilities and problems associated with dyslexia, non-verbal learning disorders, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), language processing, anxiety disorders and reading and writing challenges. A Kayne Eras Center therapist will develop an individually-tailored program to help identify and improve these learning problems. Educational therapy works on the roots of learning difficulties and should not be mistaken for tutoring, which focuses on homework and classroom assignments as a basis for services. Educational therapy services may include:

  • Remediation of learning disabilities
  • Strategies for effective learning
  • Case management

The cost of Educational Therapy services is determined on an individual basis after a thorough review by the Agency Director. Clients may pay privately or use funding provided through Regional Centers or School Districts.
