Abstract

There are three crucial factors to know and understand what Educational Therapy (EdTx) – recognized by the World Health Organization in 1986 and classified under the Procedural Code 93:82 – can offer to clients with special needs. These three factors are summarized as follows:

Identify the bottom line of EdTx especially what it can offer

Offer specific solutions to address academic and socio-emotional needs via EdTx

Authorize diagnostic assessment to provide appropriate support services and advocate for the rights of individuals with special needs.
