Educational Therapy

Educational Therapy is a customized intervention program which helps children with learning difficulties. A qualified special needs educator uses multi-sensory methods such as manipulatives, games, and other activities, to teach children skills and strategies to help them manage their learning or attention issues and improve their academics and self-confidence. 

We make sure that we develop a program that will cater and facilitate the learning of our students with different learning difficulties. Providing them with safe and nurturing environment will help them develop their skills and appropriately interact with peers and with adults. 

Once the child is ready for mainstreaming, we would ensure a collaborative approach by building a positive working relationship with the teachers and other professionals so best support will be given to our kids.

We target the following:

• Increasing and improving attention span

• Different learning styles

• Sensory Integrated lessons and activities

We cater to children diagnosed with:

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

• Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)

With a holistic approach to student’s difficulties which takes full account of the history, profile and needs, your child will receive the attention he or she needs in a safe and positive environment which enables effective learning.
