Fall / Winter Virtual Enrichment Series
We know kids’ schedules are now falling into place, and are all so different! As everyone gets back to school in a variety of ways, we know there are likely specialized areas where your child could benefit from a little more support. We are here and ready to help!
Scheduling is in the works and dynamic! Let us know if you would like your child of any age (preschool through high school) to join one of the programs below, and times in the week that will work!
We plan to bring kids with similar needs together in age appropriate groups of 2 or more, to provide these learning opportunities in an enjoyable, social context!

THAT STUBBORN SYNTAX!
Are you still hearing some grammatical errors in your child’s speech? For example, do they mix up their subject and object pronouns ("Him is happy") or use the wrong verb tense ("I throwed the ball")? Or, for some reason - which you can’t quite put your finger on - their sentences just don’t sound right. If this is your kid - sign up for this series!
If interested, call our office on 978-712-0003 or email at admin@pptfth.com for more information.
Many insurance providers will cover these services!

ARTICULATION BOOT CAMP
Does your child struggle with certain sounds? Feel frustrated when they’re not understood? Notice when their words sound different than their friends? In this group kids will work together to help each other with obstinate sounds they just can’t quite get!
Many children grapple with r, l, th, and s, to name a few. Working together with peers can help kids understand that everyone learns speech sounds differently, and feel better supported and understood. If your child has some sounds they need extra help with, we’ll tackle it!
This group integrates peer support, discussion, learning about our mouths and articulators, and practicing strategies to produce tricky sounds to help foster speaking confidence and increase speech clarity!
This series will run for 5 weeks on Wednesdays from 1:00-1:45pm from November 25th through December 23rd, with the option to continue beyond these scheduled dates.
Specific Activities Include
● Learning about the articulators, structures and muscles in our mouths that help us make sounds
● Learning specific strategies and tools to achieve tricky sounds
● Integrating sensory activities into learning about and practicing sounds
● Encouraging self-monitoring skills
● Drill practice (repeated practice) of challenging sounds
● At-home activities to facilitate carryover of newly learned skills
