Welcome to the AET Café!

This April, the AET Virtual Café is open all month as we celebrate the first annual Educational Therapy Awareness Month! Throughout the month, we’re honoring that spirit of connection.

Join the fun and buy a virtual treat for someone who has had an impact on your professional journey. Donate a virtual coffee or lunch to celebrate a colleague, thank a mentor, recognize a fellow member, or someone else in your circle who has helped shape your path. It’s a simple and meaningful way to connect with and celebrate others by contributing to AET.

CONNECT – Recognize someone who has made an impact in your professional journey.
CELEBRATE – Honor those who have made a meaningful impact on the profession.
CONTRIBUTE – Support AET by donating a virtual Coffee or Lunch.

April was designated Educational Therapy Awareness Month in recognition of the birth of our founder, Dorothy Ungerleider, whose vision helped build the Association of Educational Therapists' mission-driven community.

Together, let’s celebrate the legacy, relationships, and life-changing work of Educational Therapy while fueling the future of learning, growth, and possibility.

AET Fact

Did you know that the AET Educational Therapist Journal dates back to the 1980's!

In the member resource section of the AET website, there are archived articles dating back to the spring of 1985; here, you can explore decades of insights and research. When you look back and read these articles, you’ll see just how groundbreaking AET was in addressing learning challenges. AET has always been on the front lines, advocating for students, education therapists, and all educators with practical, research-based strategies.

Attending AET Learning Communities, either in-person or virtually, is a great member benefit. These small group settings offer high-level professional development and networking opportunities. Chaired by an ET/P® or BCET® member, learning communities discuss topics of interest, bring in guests to share their expertise, talk through complex cases (following confidentiality protocols), share strategies and learning tools, network, and build camaraderie. Non-members may attend a couple of community sessions to learn more about AET and what we have to offer.
