The Association of Educational Therapists is the national professional
association for educational therapists. AET defines and sets standards
for the professional practice of educational therapy. Educational
therapists provide a broad range of individualized educational
interventions for children and adults with learning disabilities and
other learning challenges.

The Association of Educational Therapists (AET) is the national
professional organization dedicated to defining the professional
practice of educational therapy, setting standards for ethical
practice, and promoting state-of-the-art service delivery through
on-going professional development and training programs. AET provides
information to the public about educational therapy and facilitates
access to educational therapy services.
Educational therapists provide intensive, individualized educational
interventions for children and adults with learning disabilities and
other learning challenges such as dyslexia, ADHD, language processing
problems, poor motivation, low academic self-esteem, performance
anxiety and poor social, organizational, and/or study skills. Clients
may include students needing appropriate school placement or adults
needing workplace support.

Educational therapists are well versed in formal and informal
assessment as well as a wide range of learning methods and strategies.
They communicate with significant members of the client's world,
including family members, teachers, other professionals, and
employers, for the purpose of developing an understanding of the
client's needs and appropriate ways to provide support.

The Association of Educational Therapists, the only national
professional association for educational therapists, is dedicated to

• defining the professional practice of educational therapy
• setting standards for ethical practice
• advancing the profession through ongoing professional development
and training programs and
• promoting public awareness of and access to educational therapy services.

Educational therapists combine educational and therapeutic approaches
for evaluation, intensive individualized intervention, case
management, and advocacy on behalf of children, adolescents, and
adults with learning disabilities or other learning problems.
