What is Camp Leaps & Bounds?
Leaps & Bounds is a speech and occupational therapy program* for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or sensory-motor issues who exhibit limitations in play, school, socialization, and activities of daily living due to:
- Sensory processing
- Auditory processing
- Cognitive communication
- Social skills
- Expressive and receptive language
- Perceptual motor
- Motor planning
- Apraxia of speech
- Dysphagia (feeding and swallowing disorders)
- Executive functioning
- Fine and gross motor
- Balance and coordination
- Visual-perceptual skills
- Postural control/core strength
Leaps & Bounds uses carefully designed activities to drive therapeutic gains. The exciting part of this unique integration of OT and speech goals within a single activity allows a child a full-body, “real world” experience. For example, during table-top activities such as arts and crafts, the OT will be facilitating improved motor planning and postural control, while the SLP will be focusing on following directions and peer interactions, among other things. Therapists will seamlessly collaborate to create these ideal therapeutic scenarios and help maximize each moment of the camp day. *
*Tier 3 allows opportunity for PT collaboration as well.
Setting Goals
Parents are interviewed prior to the program to gather up-to-date information about your child’s goals. We use an assessment tool that helps establish and prioritize the child’s functional goals and truly creates a system for the parents to be involved in the process. We welcome information from other therapists, schools, doctors, etc. in order to maximize the therapeutic experience.
