Creating Lifelong Language Skills
It's not WHAT we teach, it's HOW we teach
When your child is diagnosed with a learning disability, it can feel overwhelming. You want to help them succeed, but you don’t know how. You may feel frustrated, sad, or even guilty.
Here at the Educational Therapy Center (ETC), our passion is providing support to parents by giving their children the additional help they need.
We’ve spent more than 20 years fostering a strong reputation in what we do best: top-of-the-line, personalized tutoring. Our focus is in helping students build reading, spelling, writing, and math skills.
We understand your child has a unique way of learning, which is why we have specialized tutors to perform one-on-one sessions with your son or daughter.
Elementary-aged children are not the only ones we help. We can adapt our successful tutoring practices to teenagers and adults as well.
Every ETC staff member shares the same objective: giving students the means to unlock their greatest potential and achieve their goals. Most of us have a personal connection to the world of dyslexia, dysgraphia, and/or dyscalculia.
That’s why we can provide practical steps for navigating these obstacles, along with our undivided attention and unconditional support at every step.
If you have any questions or want to schedule the starter skills assessment, reach out to your friends at ETC. We cannot wait to kickstart your journey.

Dyslexia occurs in individuals, normally children, with normal vision and intelligence. Spelling, reading, writing, comprehension, and fluency, and decoding are all skills that dyslexia affects.
Typically a lifelong condition that is manageable with proper tutoring.
