The educational therapy process involves assessment, goal setting, intervention, and progress monitoring.
Intervention Plan. The psycho-educational intervention plan details specific research-based strategies and expected outcomes using the student's strengths to leverage identified learning issues.
Case Management. Communication is essential among the members of the intervention team, including the client and professionals who work with the client.
Scheduled Sessions. Most students attend sessions one to two times per week during the school year. During the summer, more intensive intervention programs are developed to diminish the negative effects of extensive time away from school.

Metacognition
Jeanette's teaching approach is rooted in the concept of metacognition, learning-based self-awareness.
Often referred to as "thinking about thinking," metacognition helps students understand and take charge of their own learning.
Metacognitive knowledge is crucial for efficient, independent learning because it fosters forethought and self-reflection.
