- Follow simple instructions (e.g. come here, put that in the garbage, clap your hands)
All camps are coordinated by Brooke Rea, the owner of Childhood Apraxia & Speech Therapy Centre. She is especially excited to be partnering with Western University & Brittany Valeriote of Let’s Talk Guelph to make Speech Star Camps for Kids a reality!
