Health Department’s Summer Speech Therapy Program Now Open for Registration

No Summer Slide! Keep Your Student’s Communication Skills Strong

speech therapist works with a young girlSummer break is around the corner, but that doesn’t mean progress in speech therapy should pause. The Health Department’s Summer Speech Therapy Program is designed to help school-aged children continue building their communication skills, so they don’t lose momentum during the break.

Speech and language development is a journey, and consistency is important. By enrolling in the summer program, school-age children who have an established Individual Education Plan (IEP) will:

  • Maintain and strengthen the progress they’ve made throughout the school year
  • Build confidence in their speech and language skills in a fun, engaging setting
  • Start the next school year with continued growth instead of playing catch-up

Experienced speech therapists create a supportive, motivating environment where children can thrive while still enjoying their summer. Students receive 6 weekly sessions of 1-on-1 speech therapy based on their IEP. Group therapy sessions are available based on child and therapist availability. 

There is a fee for this program. Medicaid and sliding fees are also available for those who meet income eligibility requirements.

Don’t let hard-earned progress slip away—keep your child’s momentum going strong. Limited spots available. Learn more about the program or register your child by calling Speech, Language, and Hearing Services at 703-246-7120 or TTY 711.
