About Our ProgramPediatric Rehabilitation Services of Boulder Community Health is looking forward to another year of exciting summer activities! The goal of our program is to help children of all ages realize their greatest potential. Our treatment philosophy is to improve a child’s overall functional abilities while minimizing disabilities.

Our summer programs give children the opportunity to work on physical, social and language difficulties in exciting and challenging settings. With our high therapist-to-child ratio, activities can be tailored to meet the individual child’s needs and to carry over therapy goals.

Emphasis is placed on peer interaction, and activities are designed to foster improvement in the areas of attention, language, communication, sensory processing and physical coordination.

Qualified StaffOur staff members are experienced and highly trained pediatric specialists. Physical and Occupational therapists are skilled in helping children use their muscles to explore their environment and in helping them to interpret and learn from information in their surroundings. Speech and language therapists assist children with communication of their thoughts and ideas. We also assist children who have learning problems or other difficulties in school. Therapists help children develop social skills in fun, natural settings.

Food ExplorersFood Explorers camp is designed to help picky eaters get down and dirty in the kitchen. We will explore the textures, smells, and tastes of foods from around the world. We will provide hands-on learning about where food comes from, why it is important for our body, and how to turn basic foods into delicious meals. Your child will participate in every aspect of mealtime from setting the table, to preparing ingredients, to cleaning dishes. Outside of mealtime, we will explore our tactile senses through play, potting plants, and turning food into art. We will also be working on sensory calming techniques to work through challenging mealtimes. With our experienced feeding specialists, we strive to turn your picky eater into a food-loving chef!
