About this camp:
This camp will lead children through a 12-week group with an emphasis on strengthening and building self-regulation and social skills to support their confidence and play skills. The group will incorporate intervention approaches including a sensory-motor based and play-based approach to assist children in learning and practicing skills through movement and developing an understanding of their bodies in relation to their environment and others. The group will incorporate lessons from both the Zones of Regulation and We Thinkers social skills curriculum to build and create their own “toolboxes” to support their self-regulation and social skills when playing or learning with others wherever they go!
- Children are paired up according to age and social skill areas in need of support.
- Groups target skill enhancement in the following areas: making and keeping friends, entering play, appropriate play, showing good sportsmanship, flexibility in play, physical and emotional regulation during play and expressing/understanding feelings during play.
- A sensory-motor based approach is implemented to assist the children in learning and practicing skills through movement and an understanding of their bodies in relation to their environment.
- Children work together to learn the following self regulation skills: Understanding their own unique sensory system, matching their arousal levels to a particular activity, tools to assist with self regulation in a classroom, tools to assist with emotional self regulation when interacting with others and independence in identifying their individualized sensory needs.
- Each session will incorporate lessons based on the “Zones of Regulation”, which helps students understand how to change or maintain an optimal state of alertness for functional activities in school and at home, as well as the “SuperFlex Social Thinking Curriculum”.
- Social language facilitation: Learning/practicing skills related to pragmatic skills such as: conversational turn-taking, initiating and maintaining a conversation, maintaining appropriate eye contact, maintaining topic of conversation and whole body listening in a conversation.
- Recommendations for follow through and reinforcement of learned skills at home is provided.

Courageous Kids is a sensory motor based behavioral therapy program. The program has been designed to support preschool and elementary aged children with various anxiety based disorders such as, but not limited to:
- Selective mutism

Children are positively reinforced for being brave and courageous!
