Educational Therapy Services

Support that goes beyond tutoring—targeting how your child learns, not just what they learn.

What Makes Educational Therapy “Therapy-Based”?

Educational Therapy addresses how students learn, not just what they are learning.

Unlike traditional tutoring, which often focuses on assignments or short-term skill practice, Educational Therapy uses structured, research-based methods to strengthen the underlying learning processes that impact academic performance.

Instruction is individualized, responsive, and adjusted over time based on how the learner processes information, builds skills, and applies strategies.

The goal is not quick fixes—but lasting growth in independence, confidence, and academic ability.

What Educational Therapy Supports

  • Language processing (reading, writing, comprehension)

  • Executive functioning (focus, organization, task completion)

  • Learning efficiency and processing speed

  • Academic skill development across subjects

  • Strategy use, independence, and self-monitoring

  • Confidence and academic resilience

Who This Service Is Designed For

Educational Therapy is ideal for students who need more than tutoring.

  • Students with dyslexia or language-based learning differences

  • Students with ADHD or executive functioning challenges

  • Learners who are not making expected progress with traditional instruction

  • Students with inconsistent performance or learning gaps

  • Children, teens, and adults who need structured, long-term academic support

Our Approach

At Dr. Hayes Educates, Educational Therapy is grounded in structured, research-based instruction and tailored to each learner’s unique profile.

We integrate:

  • Structured Literacy (Orton-Gillingham–based instruction)

  • Explicit, systematic teaching methods

  • Executive function strategy development

  • Ongoing progress monitoring and instructional adjustment

Sessions are designed to build skills while also teaching students how to learn, think, and apply strategies independently.

Important To Know

Educational Therapy is not clinical therapy, counseling, or mental health treatment.

It does not involve diagnosis or psychotherapy.
Educational Therapy is an instructional service focused on learning, language, and academic functioning.

Families seeking formal diagnoses or psychological evaluations should visit our Educational Evaluations services.
