The Speak Now Camp is for children who stutter between the ages of 5 and 17 and runs for 1 week August 3rd through August 7, 2026, 5 days/week from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm (7 hours/day). This program includes two parent workshops, (1) day one is an information session to help parents learn more about stuttering and provide time for them to address concerns and ask questions; (2) Day 5 includes a morning workshop, consult with SLP and student clinician to discuss child’s progress and plan for carryover and maintenance, luncheon, and a program in the afternoon. Each day, the campers participate in group therapy/support sessions followed by team building exercises and receive individual speech-language therapy for 45 minutes to one hour in the afternoon.

Goals/Treatment Outcomes:

• Increase the child’s understanding of the nature of stuttering
  Increase the child’s awareness of the factors and behaviors that may perpetuate stuttering
  
• To reduce the impact of stuttering on the child
  
• To reduce the impact of stuttering on the parents and family
  
• To increase the child’s confidence and overall communication skills

The underlying principles of the Speak Now Camp:

• Change needs to occur at a family systems level if the child is going to be able to make and sustain changes in communication and thinking;
  
• Families have the skills and abilities to make changes that support improved communication in the child;
  
• Children do not have to be fluent in order to be successful communicators;
  
• Therapy must address not only the development of communication strategies, but also reduce the impact of stuttering on the child and family.

The aim of the camp is to help the child develop social communication skills, manage cognitive-emotional aspects of the stuttering; and make choices about whether/when/how to use learned communication strategies.

Saint Elizabeth University is excited to offer an incredible Social Emotional Learning (SEL) day camp experience for neurodivergent learners ages 7-13. TAP IN to SEL  is a 5-day camp that will utilize the CASEL framework to guide our learners in finding out what SEL is and how it can transform their lives! Speech Language Pathology graduate students will lead daily small group workshops where campers will embark on their SEL journey!

Each day campers will be introduced to a new competency and will learn how it impacts their daily lives and can have an effect on their challenges and successes. They will have the amazing opportunity to meet with a mentor who has harnessed their own unique neurodivergence through SEL work and used it as fuel to succeed in monumentous ways. Students will dive into hands-on experiential social-emotional learning activities that foster receptive and expressive language growth, communication, and real-life lasting bonds and friendships. These activities include positive affirmations, planting, reflective journaling, and motivational exercises. This work promotes emotional identification, self-regulation, self-advocacy, abstract language competency, fosters relationship skills, and brings awareness to responsible decision making.
