The George Washington University Summer Apraxia Camp

The George Washington University (GWU) is offering an intensive summer camp for children diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) and we are determined to get Peanut into it if he is eligible.  We have already requested our information packet and video release forms and have asked our SLP to help us make the required video that will be used to determine eligibility.  


All participants will receive daily individual, small group (4-5 children), and large group treatment (9-10 children). Therapy will be provided by graduate level clinicians and supervised by a certified and licensed speech-language pathologist.  Each participant will be paired with a clinician in order to provide consistency and 1:1 supervision/support.  


This would be amazing especially because through Child Find, he wouldn't get any services over the summer.  We are going to have to find something else to supplement for him through the summer in addition but this camp would be the first truly intensive treatment we would have for him.  I am excited to see what something that intensive can do for his progress.  


Peanut deserves every opportunity and we are going to do everything we can to get him in including figuring out how to find the $1000 for two weeks of intensive therapy.
