Toddler App: Feed Maxi!

Feed Maxi! is an app for the iPad and iPad Mini that uses sign language and animation (the app features a cute monkey named Maxi) to improve communication skills in toddlers, preschoolers, young English learners, and children with special needs.

Feed Maxi! was created by local mom-of-two and certified Speech-Language Pathologist Pamela Mandell as part of Speak Eazy Apps (a company specializing in educational apps). This app helps kids enhance their vocabulary and problem-solving skills as they feed and interact with Maxi. Parents are able to check on progress and have the option to customize the app’s difficulty level.

Feed Maxi! is recommended for ages 17 months to 4 years.

Camp Lee Mar

A private 7 week residential summer program offering a unique curriculum incorporating a strong Academic and Speech program with traditional camp activities. Our campers flourish at Lee Mar due to the structured environment we provide which allows our campers to feel comfortable and secure. Careful study is made of parent input, school (IEPs), camper interview, etc., so that the interests and needs of each child can best be determined for suitable grouping prior to the camper arriving. At Lee Mar the children find comfort and friendship with children of similar age and functioning level. From this foundation we encourage our campers to embrace and learn new skills and have new experiences which they can build upon on their return home. We also focus on building friendships which last throughout the year, as well as learning how to cope with the dynamics of group situations. Development of the whole child is our goal. We work hard at improving the daily living, social, and life skills of our campers, while giving them the happiest summer of their lives!
