Educational Therapy
My name is Elisa Romero, and I help children ages K-12 to re-find joy in their classrooms and in learning. I do this by helping them understand the magnificence of how their specific brains work.
Through educational therapy, I create an individualized tool kit designed to remediate a learning disability or any other learning challenges. By asking direct questions and role playing with older students and using games and drawing with younger ones, I allow them to teach me their reality: Where they become frustrated, what that looks like, where they succeed. We then work together to map out their strengths alongside their weaknesses, and formulate solutions for their success.
Educational therapy is NOT tutoring. It provides direct remediation to skills that need intervention and attention.
When these kids relax into understanding how THEY learn best, with my support, their minds unlock. Their spirits soar. They relax and they learn.
Do you see your student in these profiles?
“My son with ADHD is forgetful and cannot seem to organize his work or schedule. He’s smart, but totally unmotivated by school. He’s behind academically in reading, math and writing. His teachers tell me he has attention lapses in school.”
“My daughter is inquisitive, thinks outside the box, and is certainly capable of doing all her schoolwork. But it takes an enormous amount of time to complete her homework. She’s so easily frustrated now and her self-confidence is really slipping.”
“My daughter is probably a grade or two levels below her peers in math, reading and writing. I’m sure that’s why she struggles with the daily work in the classroom – her foundation in reading and math is weak. She just can’t process the information fast enough.”
“My son is really emotional, to the point where he has a challenging time making and maintaining friends. I think he’s immature compared to his peers. He just can’t seem to read the social cues in situations.”
