The Journey of an ET Panel Discussion

Educational therapy is a career defined by growth, reflection, and resilience. This panel brings together five educational therapists at distinct points in their professional journeys to explore the evolving nature of the work.

Our panelists include a retiring ET, a school-based ET, an ET who transitioned from solo to group practice, an ET who’s starting private practice, and an ET who took medical leave. Through shared stories and honest conversation, this session invites fellow educational therapists to reflect on their own paths — to see what growth can look like at different stages, to normalize change and challenge, and to take away insights that support a sustainable, meaningful professional life.
