Educational support in in-person educational therapy

Educational support in educational therapy: 🌿 A caring and personalized guidance towards success!

Every student learns at their own pace and may encounter challenges that slow down their progress. Educational therapy support offers specialized intervention adapted to the unique needs of each child.

✨ Thanks to an in-depth assessment of their strengths and challenges (cognitive, affective, and methodological), the educational therapist implements tailored strategies to:

  • Develop skills in reading, writing, and mathematics

  • Improve learning and organizational methods

  • Strengthen confidence and self-esteem

  • Promote autonomy and academic success

πŸ‘©β€πŸ« Educational therapy is much more than academic support β€” it is an educational partnership that helps every student rediscover the joy of learning and flourish fully.

πŸ“ How the support proceeds:

File opening:

  • The educational therapist analyzes report cards, the Intervention Plan, and recent school assessments to establish a personalized remediation plan.

Personalized sessions:

  • Development of a tailored remediation plan, shared with the school environment.

  • Continuous monitoring of progress during in-person or tele-educational therapy sessions.

  • Duration: 1 to 2 hours per session, depending on the student’s needs.

Personalized academic support, wherever you are!

Is your child experiencing learning difficulties (reading, writing, math, attention, organization)? Offer them the support of a qualified educational therapist… directly at home!

πŸ‘©β€πŸ« Tele-educational therapy is the same quality of intervention as in-person, adapted to the digital world: flexible, accessible, and highly professional. Thanks to tele-educational therapy, sessions take place online (ZOOM or TEAMS) using interactive and fun tools: shared exercises, educational platforms, tailored strategies…

🌟 How does it work? Regular and individualized follow-up, based on a complete assessment of the student’s needs, to:

  • Strengthen their academic and cognitive skills;

  • Develop effective learning strategies;

  • Regain confidence and the pleasure of learning;

  • Promote autonomy and academic success.

🧩 Remote intervention procedure

  • Initial contact with the student and family

Understanding to better intervene

The educational therapy evaluation is a structured process aimed at identifying a student’s strengths, challenges, and specific needs related to their academic learning.

Why choose this evaluation?

πŸ’‘ Thanks to this unique and personalized clinical evaluation, every student benefits from comprehensive support at school and at home, as the evaluation results will help to develop a personalized Intervention Plan for school and a Remediation Plan for educational therapy sessions, to maximize the chances of success and promote effective and lasting learning.

Why choose this clinical evaluation rather than another in educational therapy?

  • No diagnosis, but targeted, adapted, and effective interventions to promote the student’s learning progression.

  • Understanding the overall picture of the student’s cognitive, language, and academic functioning.

  • Identifying obstacles to their progression;

  • Developing a Remediation Plan for educational therapy sessions.

  • Developing an Intervention Plan for support measures at school.

As one of the rare clinical educational therapists offering psychometric evaluations, which allow for:

  • Analyzing key competencies in reading, writing, and mathematics to precisely understand persistent difficulties.

  • Evaluating the degree and severity of the student’s difficulties on a normative scale and objectively situating the student’s current academic level relative to their age or grade level in reading, writing, and mathematics.

  • Using standardized, normed tests to measure the degree of deviation between the student and typical academic expectations for their grade level.

  • Precisely analyzing the macro and micro-processes of the skills to be worked on.

  • Determining the intensity and structure of interventions to ensure real academic progress.

  • Developing a customized Learning Profile to guide targeted and effective interventions at school.

  • Identifying whether the difficulties are due to a learning delay, a specific disorder (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia), or simply a temporary need.

  • Justifying the implementation of an intervention plan at school with pedagogical support measures specific to your child’s needs.

  • Developing personalized and tailored follow-up for private educational therapy sessions, to ensure your child’s academic progression!
