Join us for an exciting and enriching DIR® Floortime™ Summer Camp!

  • Price: $6375.00 for self-pay clients; we will work with your insurance company if you have out-of-network insurance benefits

  • Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm

Camp Details:

The Village Playground is designed to provide an enriching environment for children, filled with a variety of toys, arts and crafts, dress-up corners, cars, and dollhouses.

The camp will embrace the DIR® Floortime™ approach which fosters a child-led interaction while we support the children in a one-to-one capacity with appropriate affect, language, gesture, and sensory support that is sensitive to each child. All campers will engage in “free play” with their peers. This will facilitate their ability to share attention with one another, to read & respond to one another’s invitation to play, to engage & be engaged, and to sustain interactions during spontaneous play therefore supporting their functional emotional developmental capacities.

Duration: 3 hrs session per day with indoor Floortime playtime and snack/lunch break (bring your own snack/lunch).

Expert Clinical Advisor: Dr. John Carpente, Ph. D., MT-BC, LCAT

Dr. Carpente is the Founder & Executive director of the Rebecca Center for Music Therapy, founding director of the Center for Autism and Child Development at Molloy College, and a Professor of music therapy at Molloy College.

For new clients interested in joining the camp:

A DIR® Floortime™ Intake Evaluation is required before the start of the camp. The evaluation will help us gain insights into your child’s functional and emotional development. This will allow us to tailor our approach to his/her profile and meet his/her needs during the camp.

The DIR® Floortime™ Intake Evaluation is charged separately from the camp but may be submitted to your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits. We will contact you to schedule the evaluation within the next few weeks.
