Camp Description:
Camp weTALK is open to kids ages 5-12. Camp wee-TALKers is open to kids ages 3-4. Both camps are designed for children with a diagnosis of childhood apraxia of speech. Activities include an initial dynamic assessment of motor speech skills (DEMSS) followed by daily group (1:1 or 2:1 ratio) and individual sessions (1:1). Twice daily individual sessions focus on motor speech skills using the Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC) approach. At the end of camp, each child will receive a report including baseline levels and progress notes. Group sessions will incorporate the Orton-Gillingham multi-sensory approach to phonics and will give opportunities to practice individualized speech targets with peers. Story time will incorporate Jan Norris’ “Phonic Faces.” All techniques are evidence-based. In addition, our camps emphasize social-emotional growth. Through peer interactions and structured activities, children develop important social skills in a fun, supportive setting.

Special Feature: While our primary focus is on motor speech therapy, we integrate working on pre-literacy and literacy skills, using the Orton-Gillingham approach, to support each child’s reading and writing development. Children with speech and language difficulties, such as CAS, are at a higher risk of having literacy difficulties and therefore, we work on critical early skills for developing language and literacy.
