Guidance and support on your child's learning differences
"Maura met my son with a smile and, in the blink of an eye, disarmed him, performed a full assessment and they got started working. Under her guidance, he went from testing “at risk for dyslexia and other learning disorders” in every category to finishing the school year at
“grade level” and is now a confident, enthusiastic reader."
- Parent Testimonial
"Maura is creative, resourceful, and tireless in her efforts and went well beyond to help me when I needed to advocate for my child in numerous school meetings. Maura changed the course of my child's life- and with it, our family’s. We are forever indebted to her expertise in the field and how she applies it."
- Parent Testimonial
"Maura was largely responsible for creating a specific framework to address the students’ learning needs. An essential component of establishing a successful program is introducing these services to teachers and parents. Change can be difficult. Yet, Maura’s ability to present information to
these constituencies in a way that was clear and nonthreatening was critical to a smooth implementation.
Few educators would have been able to accomplish this task with such aplomb."

What is Educational Therapy?
The Association of Educational Therapy defines the following:
Educational Therapy offers children and adults with learning disabilities and other learning differences a wide range of intensive, individualized interventions designed to remediate learning challenges and build resilience.
Educational therapy demystifies learning differences and stimulates clients’ awareness of their strengths so they can use those strengths to their best advantage to overcome or compensate for areas of weakness.
Educational therapists create and implement a treatment plan that utilizes information from a variety of sources including the client’s social, emotional, psychoeducational, and neuropsychological profiles.
