Summer is a perfect time to give your child a boost in their speech or occupational therapy goals—without the stress of a full school schedule. At Back Bay Speech & Occupational Therapy, we offer customized summer programs designed to help children make meaningful progress before heading into the new school year.
Whether your child is working on articulation, expressive language, handwriting, sensory processing, or social communication, our team is ready to help them grow with targeted, engaging, and flexible support.
🧠 Why Extra Summer Therapy Makes a Big Difference
Research shows that intensive, consistent therapy—especially when delivered more frequently over a shorter period—can lead to faster and more noticeable gains in skills. Rather than waiting until fall to address lingering concerns, summer therapy offers a valuable opportunity to:
- Accelerate Progress: With fewer school-year distractions, children can focus more deeply on therapy goals.
- Avoid Regression: Kids are more likely to maintain and strengthen their skills with continued support over the summer months.
- Start the School Year Strong: When children begin the year with improved communication, motor, or self-regulation skills, they’re more confident and ready to learn.

💡 Why Consider More Frequent Summer Sessions?
During the school year, children typically attend therapy once a week. Over the summer, we encourage families to consider twice-weekly or even short-term intensive schedules, which can provide powerful momentum toward your child’s goals.
For example, a child who attends 2–3 sessions per week for 6 weeks may make gains equivalent to several months of school-year therapy. The consistency and repetition during this time can lead to improved retention, generalization of skills, and greater confidence.
