Summer 2026 Programs
This summer we are offering a range of learning opportunities designed to support neurodiverse students in elementary through high school.
Our programs combine skill development, creativity, and connection, all within a supportive environment.
Each program is led by educational therapists who combine academic expertise with an understanding of how students learn best, building confidence, connection, and meaningful skill growth.
Families can choose from individualized support, weekly sessions, small-group skills studios, or a combination of programs based on their child’s needs.

Summer Intensives
Does your child need targeted support to strengthen learning skills before the new school year?
Our Summer Intensive is a highly individualized, one-on-one program tailored to the unique learning needs of neurodivergent students who benefit from consistent, focused instruction. Whether the goal is closing academic gaps, strengthening foundational skills, or building confidence, our intensives provide a structured path to success.
These sessions provide a unique educational opportunity - free from the demands and distractions of the traditional school day. Each intensive is tailored to your child’s learning profile and focused on the areas where growth is needed most. This may include:
- Strengthening core academic skills (reading, writing, math)
- Building executive functioning strategies (organization, time management, flexible thinking)
- Reinforcing attention, memory, or processing skills
- Developing tools for increased independence and self-confidence
In a calm and encouraging environment, students are given space to focus deeply and make meaningful progress. With personalized attention and targeted instruction, our Summer Intensive helps learners return to school feeling more prepared, confident, and empowered.

Custom Summer Sessions
Does your child benefit from consistent support to maintain progress during the summer months?
Our weekly educational therapy sessions allow students to continue building skills in a more relaxed summer schedule while maintaining the momentum they have developed during the school year.
These one-on-one sessions are tailored to each student’s learning profile and focus on the areas that will best support continued growth. Summer sessions may focus on:
- Maintaining progress in reading, writing, or math
- Strengthening executive functioning skills such as planning and organization
- Building confidence and independence as a learner
- Practicing strategies that support attention, memory, and flexible thinking
By continuing sessions over the summer, students can prevent the “summer slide” while strengthening the skills and strategies that help them thrive in school.

Summer Skills Studios
Is your child someone who learns best through creativity, projects, and collaboration?
Our Summer Skill Studios offer small-group learning experiences where students build important academic and executive functioning skills through engaging, hands-on activities.
Each studio is intentionally designed to support learners by combining structured guidance with creativity and peer collaboration. Groups are small so students receive individualized support while also benefiting from working alongside peers.
Every studio is led by an educational therapist, who supports students as they develop strategies, practice flexible thinking, and build confidence in their abilities.
See below for this summer’s Skills Studios offerings.

Reader's Theater Studio
Does your child enjoy storytelling, creativity, or performing?
In our Reader’s Theater Studio, students bring stories to life by reading and performing scripts together. Reader’s Theater allows students to focus on expression, comprehension, and collaboration without the pressure of memorizing lines.
Throughout the week, students work together to read, rehearse, and perform a script. On the final day, families are invited to join us for a short performance.
Reader’s Theater supports the development of:
- Reading fluency and confidence
- Comprehension and vocabulary
- Expressive language
- Collaboration and teamwork
With the guidance of an educational therapist, students also receive support with reading strategies, language development, and flexible thinking. This allows them to build literacy skills in a way that feels engaging, creative, and confidence-building.

Game Club
Does your child enjoy games and learning through play?
Our Game Club provides a structured space where students build friendships while playing strategy and collaborative games.
Students meet regularly with the same group of peers, allowing them to develop friendships while practicing important thinking and social skills.
Games are chosen to support the development of:
- Problem solving
- Planning and strategy
- Flexible thinking
- Social Communication
- Teamwork
Educational therapists guide students as they reflect on their thinking during games, helping them recognize strategies that work and practice adapting when challenges arise.
Toward the end of the program, students will have the opportunity to design their own game, create rules, and teach others how to play, building creativity, organization, and leadership skills.

Middle School Survival Lab
Is your child preparing for the transition to middle school?
Our Middle School Survival Lab helps students build the organization and planning skills that make the transition to middle school smoother and less overwhelming.
Through hands-on challenges and activities, students practice the practical systems that support success in school.
Activities may include:
- Organizing a messy locker
- Setting up binders and tab systems
- Organizing backpacks and materials
- “Beat the clock” organization challenges
- Planning systems for assignments and homework
With the guidance of educational therapists, students learn strategies that help them manage school routines more independently.
By the end of the program, students leave with practical tools, greater confidence, and a stronger sense of readiness for the upcoming school year.
