Summer Camp Chit Chat 2023 Application is Open
Camp Chit Chat is a fun and socially interactive camp for preschool age children with mild-moderate speech and language delays. It’s a great way for children to keep up with essential communication skills during the summer when regular therapy services are not offered. Each camp participant will be placed in a small group (2-3 children) with same-aged peers also working on similar skills such as articulation, language, fluency and social communication. Not every child that applies for camp will have the opportunity to be enrolled. We look at each child individually to make sure he or she will benefit from our program
Camp Chit Chat Curriculum
Our weekly themes transform our center into a wonderful setting for your child to develop his/her imagination while working on speech, language, social, cognitive, and motor skills. We also target early literacy skills and early handwriting skills during camp. Each weekly session builds upon the previous session and focuses on helping each child in acquiring a foundation of the following communication skills: improved articulation due to speech delays such as apraxia and phonological delays, social communication with peers and staff, receptive language skills (questions, vocabulary, concepts, grammar) expressive language skills (sentence length, vocabulary, categories, grammar, questions) and fluency of speaking.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I don’t know what would have happened with the education of my children without RiteCare. My son couldn’t read in fourth grade. He attended Brain Lab, where he was diagnosed with dyslexia. When he left primary school, he was able to level out of support and he is now earning good grades. My youngest daughter was born with a speech problem, and she could not articulate a word in Spanish or English. The truth is, as a mother, I felt frustrated and desperate because I did not understand what my daughter was asking me or needed at that moment. My daughter improved with her speech at RiteCare but also needed help with reading. She continued with support and is now in fourth grade doing well.
Help Children Who Struggle with Communication Find Their Voice
The need never stops. At RiteCare Childhood Language Center of Santa Barbara there is always a waiting list of children who are falling further behind their peers in speech, language, and reading skills.
Every dollar donated to RiteCare allows them to take on more children. It helps support their vital programs, their ongoing operations, and allows them to continue innovating and developing new programs, like Camp Chit Chat and Brain Lab, potentially leading to new solutions to help kids in even more exciting and effective ways.
