Sensory Summer Camp 2024
This special summer camp in the Pittsburgh area is more than fun, every minute will be filled with strategic activities and support to boost your kid’s sensory processing, executive functioning, motor skills, and more!
This Sensory Summer Camp is for any child that has sensory processing difficulties, extreme picky eating, poor attention, impulsivity, or struggles with following directions. It’s for kids with no diagnosis, or kids that have ADHD, Autism, Down syndrome, or other diagnoses.
There will be a mix of needs. The only requirement is that your child is potty trained and is between the ages of 4 and 10.
The adult to child ratio will be 3 to 4 kids to 1 adults, with two pediatric OTs leading the camp.

What’s The Cost?
When you send your kid to our Sensory Summer Camp it’s like getting 20 hours of therapy! Group therapy rates can be anywhere from $40 to 60$ and hour, and other camps run by therapists average around $800 for the week.
Because this is our first year and Alisha is able to hold camp at her home, the cost is $350 for the whole week. When you enroll, you can choose a one-time payment or a payment plan.
However, if you believe your child would benefit and would need a partial scholarship because of your financial circumstances, please reach out at hello@yourkidstable.com.
