As ADHD and Learning Disabilities Awareness Month Begins, Learn About a Tutoring Model Combining Psychology & Education

Therapeutic Tutoring pairs academic instruction with psychological counseling, addressing the anxiety, attention, and
executive-functioning barriers.

CA, UNITED STATES, September 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — October is both ADHD Awareness Month and Learning Disabilities Awareness Month, and Therapeutic Tutoring — a nationwide practice founded by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Alan S. Jacobson, Psy.D., MBA — is using the month to describe a model still uncommon in the tutoring industry: pairing academic instruction with licensed psychological counseling in the same session, rather than treating the two as separate services a family has to coordinate on their own.

The approach serves students from grade 3 through grade 12, as well as college students, graduate students, and working adults, and is built around
a single premise: a learning gap and the anxiety, attention problems, or low motivation sitting underneath it are usually the same problem wearing two
faces, not two problems that happen to coincide. Sessions combine academic instruction — in reading, writing, math, and executive-functioning skills
— with the psychological strategies needed to address what is actually interfering with the student’s ability to learn, including ADHD, dyslexia and other learning disabilities, anxiety, and the effects of depression on academic performance.

The model reflects the broader approach behind Foresight Psychological Institute, the parent organization for Jacobson’s clinical practices: treating a diagnosis and its real-world functional impact as inseparable, rather than addressing one and hoping the other resolves on its own.

Therapeutic Tutoring is led by Dr. Jacobson, who holds PSYPACT authority to practice telepsychology across 44 states, allowing the practice to work with
students and families well beyond its home base in Westwood, Massachusetts. More information, including guidance for parents and answers to frequently
asked questions.

Therapeutic Tutoring is also expanding its network of therapeutic tutors and is inviting inquiries from professionals who combine a background in
education with a master’s degree in a counseling-related field — school counseling, clinical mental health counseling, marriage and family therapy,
or a comparable discipline. Candidates who hold that dual credential and want to be considered for the model, please get in touch
