Summer Speech Therapy
The Importance of Summer Speech Therapy: Keeping Kids on Track
Summer is a time for fun, relaxation, and family adventures—but did you know it’s also a critical time to continue supporting your child’s speech and language development? While school may pause for a few months, speech and language growth should not! Here’s why summer speech therapy with Mimi & Me Speech Therapy can help your child thrive all year long.
Preventing the “Summer Slide”
Just like academic skills, taking a break from speech therapy over the summer may slow progress or lead to setbacks. Consistent sessions help reinforce skills, ensuring your child continues to build confidence in their communication abilities.
Benefits of Continuing Therapy During the Summer
With fewer school-related demands, summer is the perfect time to focus on speech goals without the added stress of homework, tests, and busy schedules. Summer provides a wonderful opportunity to focus on specific speech and language goals in a relaxed, low-pressure environment. Our in-home and teletherapy sessions provide a relaxed and fun environment where children can make meaningful progress at their own pace in:
Speech Clarity and Pronunciation – Strengthening articulation and phonology skills to enhance clear communication.
Social Communication – Practicing conversational skills, turn-taking, and building confidence in social settings.
Language Development – Expanding vocabulary, sentence structure, and comprehension through fun, engaging activities.
Stronger Social Communication
Summer break often means more time spent with friends, family, and in new social settings. Speech therapy helps children develop essential skills such as turn-taking, conversation-building, and clear articulation—boosting their confidence in social situations.
Getting Ahead for the New School Year
Starting or continuing speech therapy during the summer can give your child a head start before the new school year begins. Strengthening communication skills over the break helps children return to school with improved skills, readiness to participate in class, and stronger relationships with peers and teachers.
