Behavioral Tutoring (BT) Therapy and homework help provides 1:1 support for children after school to increase their success during homework time. The therapist will work with the family to create an individualized homework plan, with the goal being to increase the child’s ability to self-monitor and work independently.
How Our Behavioral Tutoring Works
Utilizing the principles of applied behavior analysis, behavioral tutoring is a therapy that focuses on breaking down tasks into smaller and more doable steps so that the child can feel successful each step of the way. While fostering a social connection through learning in an effort to increase self-confidence, your child will alter their perspective on learning.
