"As you search for the best place to send your child this summer, I highly recommend you look into the quality service provided by the Ladders to the Puzzle summer camp.   This camp excels and is unique due to the expertise level of the staff working directly with your child.  Activities are not just supervised but also led by a very experienced speech pathologist and/or occupational therapist. They encourage each child to reach their unique goals while giving them the appropriate sensory input and support necessary to be successful.  It is immediately obvious that they care about the kids they work with and genuinely want to find a way to help them develop and succeed.  I can’t ask for anything more for my sons than their experience, talent and compassion."

Adventure Camp for Learning and Language - 2012

We are accepting children ages 4-8, who are interested in maintaining, growing and continuing skills necessary for school and social interaction as well as speech and language.  Focus of this Summer Camp is on fine, gross and sensory- motor skills, speech and language development and play/social skills.  The camp is run by a speech pathologist and an occupational therapist. Fun themes each week incorporating the above.

"This Camp is such a great and wonderful thing for both of my children.  I have a 6 year old who is on the spectrum and a 4 year old daughter that needs speech and OT,  both of them have really enjoy this camp.   They have a good balance between making the activities fun and working with what each child needs are.  The instructors have been very good to let me know as a parent what things we can work on at home to reinforce all that was done each day in camp.   Both my children have benefited from this much more than any of the other day camps around,  the speech and OT professionals are very focused on what the children need and they are happy to work with each parent.   Great Camp!!!"

"Ladders to the Puzzle's summer camp provides a wonderful opportunity for children to receive exceptional therapy in a more natural environment. This casual environment provides ideal teaching opportunities for functional learning that is both useful inside and outside of a school setting. Each week of camp is themed allowing children to build their skills without sacrificing summertime fun.
Our son has been attending camp for the last 3 years and he looks forward to it every summer. June's ability to instruct our son at a pace that challenges him yet does not overwhelm him is amazing. Every summer he makes great gains. I would highly recommend camp to any parent that is looking for the best therapy for their child at a very reasonable price"
