SPLASH Therapy was designed by Excel Speech Therapy Center to help children develop communication skills in a different and exciting setting. A child who participates in this program works one-on-one and in small groups to target individualized speech, language, and social goals. Research has shown that children with sensory integration deficits and/or children with Autism Spectrum Disorders benefit from learning environments that support their sensory needs. Being in the water provides stimulation and input creating an effective learning environment for facilitating language.
At Excel, SPLASH Therapy has helped children increase skills in the following areas:
- Sign language
- Speech
- Vocabulary
- Attention to structured activities
- Initiation and maintenance of communication
- Functional and constructive play
Who: Any child with speech and language deficits who would benefit from a new/different learning environment.
Where: Clairemont-Mesa Boys and Girls Club of San Diego
