Question 1

What is educational therapy, and how is it different from tutoring?

Accepted Answer

A tutor reteaches content from class. Educational therapy goes underneath that to ask why learning has felt hard in the first place, then rebuilds the foundation. We work on the underlying skills, the strategies, and the confidence a student needs to learn independently, not just tonight's homework.

Question 2

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Students in grades K through 12, including learners with autism (and PDA profiles), ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, specific learning disabilities, and social-emotional or behavioral needs. Bright kids who feel stuck are very much welcome.

Question 3

Where do sessions happen?

Accepted Answer

In the Berkeley office at 1760 Solano Avenue, on your student's school campus, or in your home, whatever best fits the plan built together.

Question 4

How much does it cost? Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Services are private-pay only and are not billed through insurance. Rates and additional service details are shared upon request, once Kira has a sense of what your learner needs.

Question 5

Can you help with IEPs and school meetings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kira offers education on the IEP process and your procedural safeguards, pre-IEP preparation and recommendations, and attendance at the meeting itself.

Question 6

How do we get started?

Accepted Answer

Fill out the inquiry form with a little about your learner. Kira will follow up by email to discuss next steps. She is currently booking for the 2026-2027 school year, including new clients.
