Summer CAMP Program

6 and 8 week classes available

These programs will focus on developmental skills including play and social interaction skills using a combination of Sensory Integration and Floortime techniques. A major emphasis will be placed on sensory, motor, cognitive and speech and language development during activities designed to be fun, interactive, and challenging. The activities are designed for children who could use additional practice in these areas, or have IFSP, IEP, or personal goals related to the above-mentioned areas.  Children will be grouped by age and skill levels to ensure that appropriate programming is provided. Typically-developing peers will also be integrated into our summer camps as appropriate and available.  Although described as ‘camp’ specific goals for each child will be addressed.

Enrichment Classes

4 or 6 week classes

• Let’s Take a Bite!! Does your child prefer to be fed or is he reluctant to touch foods himself? Is he worried about getting his hands messy or how it feels to have food on his hands or mouth? Is he a picky eater? Has it been hard to move him forward in terms of trying new foods- both to touch them and to eat them? Is he reluctant to have his hands or face messy?

  This class will focus on helping children get used to touching and handling new foods through different activities using foods, as well as encourage further oral exploration of new foods. Our experience has shown that being around peers who do touch and eat a variety of foods can be a powerful motivator. Sometimes also doing things with food that are not related to eating can help children get over their fear of even touching it so we will be trying a variety of games, art activities, as well as cooking to help with this. This class would also be helpful for those children with tactile over-responsivity in general.

Fine Motor and Handwriting BOOT CAMPS:

a. Preschool Boot Camp – Is you child just learning to write numbers and letters? Does he have difficulty holding the pencil or crayon correctly? Is letter formation inconsistent? Does he only know a few letters or only the letters in his name? Can he make the letters the same size or space them correctly on the paper? Is cutting on the line or cutting things out still challenging? Is it difficult for him to coordinate holding the paper and the pencil or scissors at the same time? The focus of this group will be to help develop the foundational hand skills to help improve grip and orientation of the hand on the pencil or scissors, as well as to encourage better use of both hands during these tasks. We will use a hands-on approach to developing the coordination of the hand muscles as well as in learning how the letters and numbers are formed. We will also emphasize the correct steps in letter formation, as well as size and spacing. This group is primarily designed for young writers who are just learning or need more practice. This is a 4 week Class meeting two times per week.  First class June 21st.

B. Elementary Boot Camp: Is your child struggling with writing completing classroom assignments legibly?  Do teachers have difficulty reading your child’s handwriting assignments because of poor letter formation or spacing?Does your child hold the pencil using an awkward grasp?  Does your child push so heavily when writing that he breaks pencils, pokes holes through paper, tires easily, or complains when writing?  The following handwriting programs use a multi-sensory approach to build and improve handwriting skills.   The First Strokes and Fine Motor Olympics will be incorporated along with Handwriting without Tears to work on strength, coordination and the development of skilled hand movements for those who can write but struggle.

This is a 4 week Class meeting two times per week.  First Class starts July 19^th.
