There are many benefits to using the Push-In Therapy model at Camp Meadowood Springs! We have seen firsthand how this approach has deeply impacted our campers, both during the summer and beyond! Some benefits include:
Natural, Real-World Context: Push-in therapy provides opportunities for campers to practice communication skills in real-life settings. This enhances the transfer of learned skills from therapy sessions to everyday interactions.
Increased Engagement: Campers are more likely to be engaged and motivated because they are participating in fun, summer camp activities.
Feedback from SLPs: SLPS can provide immediate feedback and support for our campers; helping them apply various communication strategies and techniques in real time.
Social Skills Development: Campers have opportunities to practice social skills and build new friendships with other kids that share their unique experience.
Collaboration with Staff: SLPs can collaborate closely with camp staff to ensure that therapy goals are aligned with camp activities.
Campers Have Fun: Push-in therapy allows campers to have fun while working on speech and language goals, creating positive associations with therapy and promoting a holistic approach to communication development.
What sets Camp Meadowood Springs apart is our push-in therapy approach: therapy goals are targeted throughout the day and are seamlessly integrated into each aspect of camp.
This approach allows our campers to work on their speech and language goals in natural, real-world settings, such as communal meals and group activities— all while having a blast!
Stay tuned for our next post where we will highlight the benefits of push-in therapy at camp!
