Summer Programming
At Leading Therapy Home, we believe some of the most meaningful learning happens through play, movement, connection, and real-life experiences. Our summer programming is designed to support children in fun, engaging community settings where they can build confidence, develop new skills, and experience success in a supportive environment. Led by our team of therapists, our programs encourage growth through individualized support, hands-on learning, and positive peer interactions, all while helping children enjoy the magic of summer.

Articulation Bootcamp
Give your child's speech a summer boost
If you've been wondering whether your child will just "grow out of it," you're not alone. We're hearing from families whose kids have been working on the same sounds for a while, and from parents noticing their child becoming a little less willing to speak up because of it.
And somewhere along the way... "wado" for water stops feeling quite as cute.
Even in Massachusetts!
Clearer speech. More confidence. A strong start to the school year.
Here's what we're hearing from parents
"I know therapy helps, but afternoons are impossible between sports and everything else."
"I don't want her entering another school year feeling self-conscious about her speech."
"I kept hoping he'd outgrow it, but I guess I thought we'd be past this by now."
"Summer is the only time we have a little breathing room."
Why summer? Six weeks can make a big difference.
Fewer school demands, more flexibility. Summer is an ideal window for focused speech practice, and our intensive model is built around exactly that.
✓ 20-30 minute sessions, 2-3x per week
✓ Fun, interactive online activities
✓ Individualized treatment plan
✓ Session summaries & home practice ideas
✓ Teletherapy from anywhere in MA
✓ Scheduling before or after camp*
*Subject to therapist availability. We'll do our best to find a time that works for your family.
Designed to keep kids motivated
Sessions are short by design, just long enough to make real progress and brief enough to keep your child engaged and coming back. Interactive games and activities are built into every session so it feels less like work and more like something they actually want to do.
Is this a good fit?
This intensive may be right for children who struggle with sounds like R, L, S, SH, CH, or TH, or who have a lisp and are becoming more aware of it. If your child could use a boost before heading back to school, this was built for them.
Program dates
July 6 to August 14
2x/week (12 sessions total)
3x/week (18 sessions total)
Insurance
We are in-network with most major insurance companies, out-of-pocket costs may vary based on your individual plan, deductible, co-pay, and coverage. Not sure what your plan covers? We'll give you exactly the questions to ask your insurance company to check on your coverage.

Imagine where they could be by September
Six weeks of focused practice can create real momentum and help your child return to school feeling more confident and more willing to speak up.
Friendly Fins
Sensory-Supported Swim + Play Group
A small-group experience for beginner swimmers ages 5+ that blends adaptive swim instruction, occupational therapy support, and playful sensory strategies so every child can feel confident, safe, and excited to jump in!
Ages: 5 +
Dates: Every Wednesdays until Aug 19 (offering rolling registration)
Time: 9:30 to 10:30 AM
Cost: Pro-rated Pricing
Location: EZWatersafety pool, Marshfield, MA
Pool temp: A toasty 86 degrees, warm enough that they will not want to get out!
A proud partnership
We've teamed up with Liz Zizza of E.Z. Water Safety to bring a small-group experience centered on water safety, swim skills, sensory support, and social confidence, backed by both adaptive swim instruction and occupational therapy expertise.
More Than Swim Lessons
Water safety
Children with sensory-seeking tendencies face real drowning risk. We address water safety in a proactive, positive, and age-appropriate way.
Real swim skills that carry over
We help kids use their swim skills in real-life pool situations, not just in a lesson setting.
Sensory + OT support
Our occupational therapist helps each child feel regulated and ready to participate, working with their sensory needs.
Social pool play
Games like ring retrieval and pool tag make the pool a joyful social space, not just a place to work on swimming.
"We hear from so many families that their child can swim but at a town pool, birthday party, or busy swim setting, it is hard to pull all the pieces together.
That is exactly what this group is designed to support."
-The Friendly Fins team
This group is a great fit if...
-
They have swim skills but struggle to use them in real pool settings
-
They want to swim and play with peers, safely and confidently
-
They are ages 5 + and can follow directions and take turns
-
They are comfortable putting their face in the water (even if encouragement is needed!)
-
They can participate in a small, supportive, sensory-friendly group
Not sure if it is the right fit? Send us a message, we are happy to chat!
Questions parents ask
"What skill level is this for? "
Answer: Beginner to developing swimmers; kids who have some water exposure and can put their face in (even with encouragement), but have not yet put it all together in a real pool setting.
"Do parents stay during the session?"
Answer: Yes! Parents stay on-site but out of the water. The group works best when kids are focused on the instructors and their peers.
"What happens if it rains and how warm is the pool?"
Answer: We swim rain or shine, the kids are already wet! The only exception is thunder or lightning. If we need to cancel, we will reach out to families as soon as possible. The pool is heated to 86 degrees F, warm enough that your child will want to get in and probably not want to get out. No cold-water shock here!
"Is this only for neurodivergent children?"
Answer: Not at all! Our approach is sensory-supportive and welcoming to any child who would benefit from a small, playful swim experience.
