I know it's March, not February. But in case you missed the memo....here's something that needs to be bumped up on your "to do" list!
From August through May, kids with disabilities in summer camp morph into full-throttle dynamos, hurtling from one organized activity to the next in an environment that is safe, social and supportive. Fueled by good food, fresh air, high activity and companionship, kids in summer camp sleep the sleep of the satisfied, the day's challenges met, new friends made and another day just ahead.
For parents and other caregivers, however, the trick is to find that most appropriate camp. And that can be a task that takes time. Not to mention the fact that popular camps will fill up quickly, so early registration is definitely recommended.
For more insights on the benefits of camp as well as resources and tips for finding that "perfect" camp, check out the latest newsletter from the Family Center on Technology and Disability: Summer Camp '08: The Break That Refreshes.
The newsletter is available in both Word and PDF formats and this link will also let you check out previous issues filled with great assistive technology info.
