Have you ever felt like your child is struggling, but not “enough” to qualify for help?
They’re bright, they’re trying, but school still feels like a battle…

What if the problem isn’t your child… but the system? For decades, schools have measured every kid against one “ideal learner” or “the norm.”

But what happens when your child’s amazing brain learns differently?

When your child struggles in school, the first instinct is often tutoring. What if the issue isn’t the lesson - it’s the learning process itself?

Today, we’re unpacking what educational therapy is and how it can change that story.

So, if you've ever thought, “I know my child can do it, but something’s missing,” this conversation is for you!

Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST: Dr. Pirayesh holds a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Education from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master's degree in Developmental Psychology from Columbia University where her work focused primarily on children’s development of mathematical thinking and cognitive neuroscience. She has worked as a learning specialist and educational therapist in private practice for over a decade.

While the emphasis of her work is on remediating learning disabilities in a one-on-one setting, she is also a sought after speaker and community advocate for children and families around learning rights. She works with children grades 1-12 and covers a wide range of learning difficulties including dyslexia, ADHD, and spectrum disorders.

In 2020, Dr. Pirayesh launched The Difference is Not Deficit Project to help promote the importance of seeing learning disability as a social justice issue. In addition to her private practice and advocacy work, Dr. Pirayesh is also adjunct faculty at Pepperdine University and is involved with a number of service organizations including The Association of Educational Therapists.
