**If your child is outside the age range for this camp and you feel that they would be a good fit despite their age, please contact info@northstarpediatricspeechtherapy.com to discuss further.
Note: North Star Speech Camp may not be well-suited for children who require 1:1 supervision for behavioral or self-care/toileting needs. All children must be fully potty trained.
Children who require continuous individualized adult support to participate safely within a small-group environment may benefit more from an individual intensive therapy program.
If you are unsure whether your child is ready, we’re happy to schedule a consultation before registration.
