TLC provides educational therapy both at the academic level and the neurosensory and neurodevelopmental levels. Our tools and technologies address the underlying cognitive and behavioral skills that are CAUSING the need for extra academic and social support. Working at the neurodevelopmental and neurosensory level enables the student to respond to academic educational therapy in a more efficient and timely manner.
First, what is the difference between educational Therapy and academic tutoring?
The biggest difference, and arguably the most important difference is that academic tutoring primarily covers what a student learns, educational therapy also includes how a student learns.
So, what is the difference between typical educational therapy and educational therapy at the neurosensory and neurodevelopmental levels?
While TLC does provide educational therapy when a student is ready to strategize and learn how to learn, TLC also provides therapy at the most foundational level of the Learning Continuum. That is, at the neurosensory and neurodevelopmental levels. We customize plans that are focused on techniques that create permanent changes in the brain’s neural pathways. In this way, a student has the opportunity to learn more comfortably and independently.
But…. what about academics?
In most cases, we use academic and social gains as a measure of our success. When more of the same hasn’t worked, we apply these methodologies to teaching reading, writing and math. We use a both/and approach! Our highly successful, systematic therapeutic approach is unique to The Therapeutic Learning Center (TLC). Our clients experience the benefits of a comprehensive and integrated plan that fully tracks and reviews each individual child’s needs.
No two students are exactly alike. That’s why we only use research-based, clinically tested technologies and tools customized for individual students’ needs.
Our sessions are delivered by experienced, degreed learning specialists in a fun, caring 1-on-1 environment. We customize plans that are focused on techniques that create permanent changes in the brain’s neural pathways.
The Learning Skills Continuum approach ensures that we can identify and treat all of the underlying skills that are at the root of learning and attention challenges.
