Summer Speech Programs for Children

Speech & Hearing Services offers a number of programs during the summer months to help school-age children continue to develop their speech, language, and literacy development.

 

Summer Speech Therapy

Speech and language development is a journey, and consistency is key! By enrolling in our summer program, your child 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

Our experienced speech therapists create a supportive, motivating environment where kids can thrive while still enjoying their summer! Your student will receive 6 weekly sessions of 1-on-1 speech therapy based on their established Individual Education Plan (IEP). Group therapy sessions may be available based on child and therapist availability. 

There is a fee for this program, but we do accept Medicaid, and a sliding fee scale is available for those who meet income eligibility requirements.
