Master of Arts [M.A] [Educational Therapy] From Holy Names University

An Educational Therapist is an educational professional skilled in the areas of assessment, diagnosis, instructional intervention, and program development who works in clinics, learning centers, private practices, and literacy programs with children and adults who have various types of learning problems. These problems may include learning disabilities, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, difficulties in reading, mathematics, written language, spelling, study, and organizational skills.

The focus of the work in educational therapy is on the precise needs of the individual client rather than a group of individuals as is often found in school settings. The Educational Therapist does not need a teaching credential to practice, but?may not?teach in a public school.
