Occupational Therapy
Thematic group sessions of Occupational Therapy will provide sensory-motor
activities to promote exploration and enhance neurological processing of
movement and sensory experiences.
With the benefit of suspension equipment and swings, Summer Sensations Day
Camp offers cutting edge intervention by therapists specializing in sensory
integration/ sensory processing.

Speech Therapy
Language is an integral piece of successful social situations.
Group Speech Therapy at Summer Sensations will focus on expressive and
receptive language skills with an emphasis on social pragmatics.
Oral-motor skills will also be addressed as the articulation piece of expressive language
is heavily reliant upon oral-motor development.

Music Therapy
Taught by a music therapist, the focus of this group will be rhythm. Rhythm
promotes self regulation and organization and plays a role in motor planning
ability.
Campers will explore a variety of musical instruments while engaging in
musical games and activities. Social Skills will be addressed and successful
interactions will be facilitated by the therapist during this group.

Therapeutic Art
With a focus on expression and tactile exploration, children will work on
individual and group art projects.
Fine motor skill development will be addressed as children use scissors and
handle manipulatives to design and develop their creations.

The Alert Program for Self Regulation
The Alert Program was designed to teach self regulation to children who have
difficulty maintaining an optimal level of arousal.
Using the image of an “engine,” this program teaches children to identify
their state of alertness as “too high,” “too low,” and just right.”
The program will also instruct children to use a variety of sensory-motor
strategies to maintain a “just right” engine level.

Gross Motor Group
At Summer Sensations Day Camp, we believe gross motor sports and games are an
important part of childhood.
Children with sensory processing differences often have difficulty playing
these games for a number of reasons ranging from misunderstanding the directions
to being overwhelmed by the action of the sport or game.
During Gross Motor Group, common childhood games and sports will be adapted
to promote each camper’s successful involvement in the activity.

Specialized Bike Riding Instruction
Children with Sensory-Motor difficulties often require extra time and
instruction to master bike riding. At Summer Sensations, campers will follow a
specific bike riding protocol to learn to ride their bikes.
Through this protocol, children will gain confidence with handling their
bikes, become more comfortable with being on their bikes, and learn the
necessary body mechanics of pedaling their bikes without the aid of training
wheels.
