Examples of Targeted Objectives

Objectives are adapted according to each child’s profile and developmental level. They can support both children experiencing specific challenges and those without particular difficulties who wish to enrich their skills, build confidence, and grow within a stimulating and structured environment.

Examples of objectives that may be addressed include:

Development of sentence structure (syntax)
Expansion of expressive and receptive vocabulary
Development of narrative skills (storytelling, sequencing, coherence)
Strengthening communication skills (formulation, precision, organization of ideas and discourse)
Development of reading skills and text comprehension
Strengthening writing skills (sentences, texts)
Exploration of foundational math concepts and problem-solving
Development of cognitive strategies and attitudes supporting perseverance, organization, and reflective thinking

Daily Activities and Structure

Each day includes two structured speech-language workshops as well as two language stimulation workshops. All activities are carefully designed to adapt to each child’s developmental level, interests, strengths, and pace, offering an experience that is both stimulating, accessible, and enriching.

Speech-Language Workshops

Targeted activities inspired by each child’s zone of proximal development, supporting both the development of new skills and the enrichment and deepening of existing abilities.

Sessions are structured around 2–3 main objectives.

Examples of activities:

Vocabulary expansion and organization of ideas
Structuring simple to complex sentences
Describing objects, images, or situations
Guided storytelling and story creation
Understanding and following varied instructions
Verbal reasoning and social communication through games and role-play situations

Language Stimulation Workshops

Play-based and educational activities designed to consolidate learning and encourage spontaneous use of skills across different contexts.

Examples:

Memory games and activities with targeted vocabulary
Sorting, categorizing, and manipulating words (categories, opposites, logical relationships)
Sequencing and story organization activities
Games focusing on connecting words and discourse structure
Real-life scenarios promoting functional communication and social interaction

Enriched Shared Reading

One children’s book per week, carefully selected to support various language and cognitive goals.

Objectives:

Expand vocabulary drawn from the story
Explore story structure (beginning, middle, end)
Encourage retelling, reflection, and prediction (“What do you think will happen next?”)

Afternoon Workshops: Language in Action

Movement-based, creative, and outdoor activities that integrate communication and cognitive goals within dynamic contexts.

Examples:

Team games incorporating understanding and giving instructions
Scavenger hunts with language-based clues and verbal reasoning
Sequencing, categorization, and problem-solving activities
Collaborative games promoting communication, planning, and organized expression

Each day is designed to create meaningful connections between morning and afternoon workshops while varying approaches (visual, movement-based, social, and creative).

Additional Specialized Workshops (Examples – Final Programming to Be Confirmed)

Depending on the invited professionals and the week’s programming, various specialized workshops will be offered, for example:

Artistic and creative workshops (theatre, writing, visual arts, music, improvisation, etc.)
Cooking activities that promote functional communication
Wellness and regulation workshops (yoga, relaxation, movement expression)
Multidisciplinary activities that may include occupational therapy, special education, animal-assisted therapy, or other complementary areas of expertise
Outdoor activities and educational games that foster learning in a dynamic and engaging environment

Specific workshops may vary depending on the final programming and the professionals present.
