Therapy Methods

Children in schools face a wide variety of challenges every day. In addition to handling a demanding academic curriculum, these students are learning how to socialize, express themselves, and handle their emotional stress. You understand more than anyone that this balancing act becomes even more difficult when a child has a physical or mental disability. In response to these challenges, you have been forced to acquire a toolkit of different teaching techniques and therapy methods.

Every child has different and specialized needs. There is not a one size fits all solution for your students. Whether it is a one-on-one or group session, the utilization of art or music, a discussion or writing exercise, the options and combinations are endless. Some methods are going to work better for others, and some might depend on the setting you are in. The trial and error of implementing these different techniques is important as well. Just like children, you learn by experience and doing. You know you better than anyone, and you have to find out what works best for your practice.

As a school-based professional you are caring, passionate, dedicated and creative. Your dedication and creativity are major factors in your ability to problem solve – an important skillset that helps you meet the unique and individualized needs of your students in need. Between your devotion to the well-being of children and your thirst for the latest in industry techniques, you are primed to succeed in any school across the country. These different therapy methods that we have put together will help you grow your career and give you the confidence you need to do your job to the best of your ability.
