Designing Summer Program for 8-Year-Old

Summer has just begun, and my 8-year-old is lacking structure. I want to support his growth in areas he struggles with at school, such as social skills, communication, and emotional regulation. How can I design a program that addresses these needs? Specialists in their respective fields—such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, ABA, music therapy, and floor time—all recommend focusing exclusively on their treatments, but I’m unsure how to integrate or prioritize them effectively.
