Bonus: kids participating in this group will benefit from the expertise of both an occupational therapist and speech therapist!
Get your child ready for the next big milestone in their life: kindergarten!
These 4-day mini-camps, led by our occupational therapist, Kara Hoegerl, OTR/L, focus on developing a range of skills that are essential for a successful transition into school. From the fine motor skills needed to learn to write to the sensory processing skills that help kids to manage in a busy classroom environment, this group will cover it all.
Each mini-camp is inspired by a popular children’s book - this session’s theme is Eric Litwin’s “Pete the Cat!” Through engaging activities designed to help enhance the skills for kindergarten readiness, your child will be set for a bright and confident start in kindergarten!
For this specific mini-camp, Kara will be joined by Clare Jennings, CCC-SLP! Clare is a speech-language pathologist with over 20 years’ experience providing assessments, therapy, parent education and teacher training with students from preschool through fourth grade. This role has provided Clare with the opportunity to work with children who have articulation/phonological disorders, motor speech disorders, language disorders, autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.
In addition to the camp fun, at-home activity suggestions, and parent resources, children will receive a complimentary developmental screening conducted by a board-certified occupational therapist. This screening aims to offer parents insights into their child’s skill development as compared with their same-age peers.
