Behavioral Expectations

At Olive Speech Therapy, we strive to create a positive, supportive, and engaging environment where all children can grow their communication skills while having fun. To ensure a safe and productive experience, we ask that all campers follow these behavior expectations:

​

• Respect Others Be kind and listen when others are speaking.

• Follow Directions Follow the instructions given by the speech-language pathologists.

• Stay with the Group Participate in activities and stay within designated areas.

• Use Safe Hands & Feet No hitting, pushing, or rough play.

• Use Indoor Voices Speak at an appropriate volume for group activities.

• Try Your Best Engage in the activities and have fun

• Show basic turn-taking skills (with reminders).

• Be comfortable separating from a caregiver for the duration of the session.

• Potty-trained or in pull-ups (staff are unable to assist with toileting).

​

What Happens If a Child Struggles with These Expectations?

We understand that every child is learning, and we use positive reinforcement, visual supports, and clear expectations to help campers succeed. However, if a child is consistently unable to participate safely in the group setting, we will:

​

• Provide gentle reminders and redirection.

• Offer a quiet break or alternative activity.

• Communicate with parents if additional support is needed.

​

If a child’s behavior significantly disrupts the group or poses a safety concern, we may recommend alternative support options that better meet their needs.
