Summer CAMP Program

(8 weeks)

 

These programs will focus on the development of play and social interaction skills using a combination of Sensory Integration and Floortime techniques, as well as sensory, motor, and speech and language development.  They are designed for children who could use additional practice in these areas, or have IEP goals related to the above-mentioned areas. Children will be grouped by age and skill levels to ensure that appropriate programming is provided. Typical peers will also be integrated into our summer camp groups as appropriate and available.

Minnows: This group is designed for young children who have had limited experience in group settings in the past and/or are cautious and hesitant to explore their environment, to separate from their parents or caregivers, and/or interact with peers. Young children with motor impairments who need help and encouragement to move may also enjoy this group. We will include a variety of sensorimotor activities to help them learn to move, play and interact with others. This 1˝  hr. group has a very limited group size due to staffing requirements. 

M W F  9:30 - 11:00 am 

 

bullet Dolphins: This group is appropriate for children who can handle being in a small group setting and enjoy moving and exploring. We will combine a variety of movement and sensory experiences to help with fine and gross motor skill development, as well as assist them to play, share, cooperate, and communicate with peers and adults more effectively. Our goals include helping them find activities that help them meet their personal sensory needs and also help them focus on other skill development including interaction and engagement.   Group size will be limited so we can provide as much intense intervention as possible. Two and a ˝ hr. program with minimum 2 times a week recommended.   

M T W Th F  9:00 - 11:30 am 

 

bullet Sharks: This group is appropriate for children who continue to benefit from sensory and motor experiences, but also need a higher level of challenge. It will incorporate many of the sensory and motor opportunities, but also includes structured games with rules, imaginative and dramatic play, cooperative activities, handwriting practice, and more complex language development.  Group size is limited so we can provide as much intensive intervention as possible.  Two sections of this 3 hr. program will be available - one for younger children and one for elementary students.  A minimum of 2 times per week is recommended due to the on-going themes and projects involved in this group. 

M T W Th F 8:30 - 11:30 am   

bullet Piranhas: This group is designed for those older children who primarily need to focus on social thinking and play skills, as well as building interactive friendship skills. Group goals include learning how to make and keep friends, expressing needs/wants, sharing ideas, accepting suggestions, learning to compromise, identifying emotions, monitoring body language, developing personal space recognition, repairing miscommunication, resolving conflicts and listening to others. Strategies from the ALERT Program for self-regulation will also be incorporated. A variety of activities, projects, games, stories, crafts, and videos will be used to help the kids develop theses skills and have fun as well!  We will offer both an elementary and a Jr. High section of this to better meet their needs.  May include community trips.

’Good’ Sports Camps

Piggy-Backed Programs
RDI offers therapy services in addition to the Summer CAMP Programs. If you would like information on how OT/PT/ or Speech Therapy could also be provided before or after a summer program please contact us about your request. Scheduling based on availability of therapists and is on first come-first serve basis.  Program fees for these services are separate and in addition to the Summer Programs fees.

 

Individualized Programs
The P.L.A.Y. (Play and Language for Autistic Youngsters) Project™ is a set of programs designed to provide individualized interventions for young children with autistic spectrum disorders.  It is under the direction of Richard Solomon, MD, who has over 15 years of experience working with young children with autistic spectrum disorders and their families. The goal of the project is to help young children and their families obtain interventions that are based on the approach of Stanley Greenspan, MD and his DIR (Developmental, Individualized and Relationship-oriented) model. The P.L.A.Y. Consultant provides regular home or center based visits and uses videotape technology to give families detailed guidance about ways to implement the DIR/Floortime model. We also have a variety of on-going groups available to work on these same skills with peers.  Please contact Project Coordinator Maureen Kane-Wineland PhD., OT/L for more information.

PLAY Partners: One essential way to help your child integrate new skills into his or her repertoire is to practice using Floortime strategies on a regular basis. Some families find it very helpful to have ‘play partners’ come to their home to assist them in providing more ‘play sessions’ per week.  These partners are supervised by an occupational therapist trained in the PLAY Project who will assist them to identify the strategies most appropriate to use with your child.  We have found this to be a very effective way to expand the therapy program in the home and provide parents with some needed help.  Please contact us if you would like further information on this program. 

FLOORTIME THERAPY SESSIONS: For families not interested in the entire PLAY Project, but wanting to incorporate more of the Floortime/D.I.R. model into their program individual therapy sessions can be scheduled at home or at our clinic. These sessions will use strategies designed by Drs. Greenspan and Wieder to facilitate the highest level of development in your child based on the levels identified on the Functional Emotional Assessment Scale and some include parent coaching, but not videotaping.  More information on this model can be found at www.icdl.com  or www.floortimefoundation.org. Please contact us if you would like more information on this option.
Interactive Metronome:  This innovative program combines the concept of a musical metronome with a patented system that accurately measures and improves a person’s rhythm and timing. By improving this fundamental ability, the individual learns to plan, sequence, and process information more effectively. Current research on this program has suggested positive impacts not only on the underlying motor coordination and timing, but also on focus and attention, sport performance, and some academic areas. For more details regarding this research and a video demonstration of the program see www.interactivemetronome.com. This is an intensive program that requires a commitment of 2-3 therapy sessions per week for 3-5 weeks for maximum benefit. In some cases this may be covered by insurance or a private pay rate can be arranged. Contact us if you would like additional information on this program or help determining if your child would benefit from this.
Assistive Technology Clinic of Toledo: This is a community partnership of professionals who have partnered with leading manufacturers in the rehab industry to obtain devices/equipment that allow our clients to demonstrate their vast abilities. Through this partnering clients can use potentially beneficial technology such as communication devices, environmental controls, and electric wheelchairs on a trial basis before purchasing. The multi-disciplinary team conducts a comprehensive evaluation to determine the appropriate equipment so they can access their environment in the most efficient way.  Contact Ann Nagle P.T. for more information.
Individual PT, OT, and Speech Therapy sessions are also available for children whose physician recommends services, or who are receiving therapy services in the school system during the school year with an MD referral.  These services may be covered by private insurance during the summer.  Feel free to contact us if you have questions about receiving therapy services for your child during the summer break.

Parent Testimonials from Previous Groups:

 

"I can't say enough about the summer programs! We could see great improvements in his social and communication skills. He really enjoyed his "group" and looked forward to going. He didn't realize he was doing work. He thought he was going just to have fun!"

 - Mother of a 5 year old boy

 

"The summer groups helped my son's social skills to really emerge! I always knew that he wanted to play with others but could just not figure out how to make him interact with kids his own age. Through the many fun activities, such as making ice cream, mazes that could be set up and crawled through, and of course, lots of water play (my son's favorite!), his playful nature really shined through! He learned turn taking skills, cooperation in a small group setting, and best of all, that it was fun to play with others! I think the biggest gain that we have seen is how much fun we are now having with him as he continues to play and socialize with all types of people."

- Mother of a 6 year old boy
