What Kinds of Activities Do We Have Planned?  

This summer, we’re hosting our fourth-annual Applied ABC Summer Program where children receiving our ABA services can learn together, make friends, and practice key skills in a group setting. Students will have the chance to participate in a variety of activities, games, and playstyles, including:  

  • Group activities – Playing board, card, or active games  

  • Sensory activities – Using sand/water tables, interacting with sensory bins, or blowing bubbles  

  • Gross motor activities – Participating in musical chairs or tag  

  • Fine motor activities – Stringing beads together or using clothing pins to pick up pipe cleaners  

  • Unstructured activities – Playing with toys or visiting our outdoor playground  

  • Parallel play – Playing near other peers  

  • Reciprocal play – Passing a ball back and forth
