Summer Speech Therapy

The Summer Speech program is crucial and beneficial, allowing children to retain skills learned throughout the school year.

The Summer Speech program builds upon the success the child has learned and enables the child to grow and add new skills by utilizing enhanced interventions.

The Wood County Society Summer Speech Program is available to any student referred from their school throughout the Wood County Society service region! 

To be considered, students with moderate or severe speech/language disorders who need therapy during the summer to maintain or increase skills they have acquired in Speech Therapy during the previous school year are chosen.

Therapy Specifics:

  • Speech therapy is offered for children who may have Apraxia of Speech and sensory integration disorders and a speech/language delay.
  • Group therapy is offered for motor sensory work utilizing sensory integration principles.
  • Individual therapy is also offered in 30-minute sessions twice weekly. The Summer Speech program runs for six weeks throughout the summer.
