Community Speech Services offers 8 week summer programs that meet once per week throughout the summer.
Summer group therapy is a great way to continue carryover of speech and language goals throughout the summer and a fun way to meet new friends! Speech-Language Pathologists will provide a flexible environment to honor individual communication, sensory and emotional needs.
Once enrolled, you will receive information from your child’s therapist about weekly themes. These themes will be incorporated into songs, books, activities, and even dress like the theme days!
Possible themes: Get to know each other, Animals, Camping, 4th of July, Water, Bugs, and much more!
