Program:

Our team of professionals includes a Speech Therapist, Occupational Therapist, a Gymnastics Teacher, Piano Teacher, Linda-mood Bell Trained professionals and Teacher aides.  The camp is open to typical children (or siblings) as well. Morning program is for kids between the age of 2-6 and afternoon program is for kids between the age 6-9. 

 

Speech Therapy

A licensed Speech Therapist will provide individual or small group (2 children) speech therapy. The program aims to improve speech, language, and socio-pragmatic skills. At the end of the week, you will be provided with a superbill that can be used to seek reimbursement through your insurance.

 

Gymnastics

Daily Gymnastic lessons are a core part of our program. Gymnastics offers significant developmental benefits for autistic children by promoting body awareness, coordination, and core strength—foundational elements that support motor planning and self-regulation. Through structured routines and repetitive movement patterns, gymnastics helps improve bilateral coordination, balance, and spatial orientation, which are often areas of difficulty for children on the spectrum. Class is led by professional gymnastic teachers. 

 

Music & Movement Therapy

Most children on the spectrum struggle with motor planning and body rhythm. Improving motor planning and body rhythm will lead to overall progress. Our music and movement therapy will be led by a music teacher. This will aid in sensory integration and build core strength. At the end of the week, you will be provided with an invoice that can be used to seek reimbursement through the regional center.

 

Occupational Therapy 

We will have an occupational therapist who will come once or twice a week to guide us with gross and fine motor activities. The gymnastics and teacher's aide will work with the children to practice these activities every day. You will be provided with a superbill that can be used to seek reimbursement through your insurance.

 

Piano Lessons

All children will attend piano lessons. You will be provided with an invoice that can be used to seek reimbursement through the regional center.

 

Other Socio-Recreational Activities - Art, Vocal, Violin and Sports 

Children will be grouped based on their skill level to ensure appropriate support and progression. Art and vocal activities will be introduced based on each child’s fine motor abilities. For children who are still developing these skills, we will provide targeted support to strengthen their fine motor control before advancing further.

Violin classes will be offered to children who have already developed foundational music reading skills.

In addition, all children will be introduced to two different sports over the course of the two-month program, promoting physical development, coordination, and teamwork.

 

Reading, Reading Comprehension and Math (1:1 instruction)

Children who require additional academic support will receive individualized (1:1) instruction in reading, reading comprehension, and math.

Our teachers are trained in evidence-based approaches, including the Lindamood-Bell programs for reading and comprehension. For math, we incorporate the classic Montessori method to build strong conceptual understanding.

​

Integration

Every day, neurotypical elementary and middle school children will participate in the summer camp. Each autistic child will be paired with a buddy whose role is to assist them, facilitate play, establish a stable relationship, and consequently improve their socio-emotional skills.

 

Cost

Superbills will be provided for Speech and OT.  We will provide you an invoice for rest of the socio-recreational activities to get reimbursed from the regional center. Academic program will be separately billed.
