So SAD, C.A.M.P. ended I am a little sad, no correction downright sad! My daughter’s last day of school (summer C.A.M.P. ) C.A.M.P. is short for : C hildren with A utsim M aking P rogress I cannot tell you about how much this CAMP helped my daughter. It definitely has the right name, right goal and right idea. Everything they did They got great wonderful teacher and their strategy and approach to teaching kids in a friendly and learning environment was wonderful. As a parent I never had to worry about my daughter once I left her there. Too bad the program ended and now she needs to return to her regular school for the Fall semester. (this worries me) I have this feeling like my heart just skipped a beat, just thinking about the stress and anxiety my daughter will have to go through. The stress of dealing with 20 kids in one class, and one teacher. The stress of wetting her pants again, the stress of a chaotic schedule and not knowing what to do, or who to turn to, her lack of speech and communication and social skills scares me. If anybody has children and is diagnosed with Autism, I suggest they check out C.A.M.P. for summer program. I cannot speak enough good things about this place but I will be thinking of this place often when the her regular school calls me with yet another accident in school. And if any parent has ASD children in school, what do you think is better? A regular school setting where she is surrounded by other kids with similar needs, LRE (least restrictive Environment)? Or should I find another school that offers similar help, and programs similar to C.A.M.P that can help my daughter. What about private school, what do you think? Does anybody know of any school that is for the whole school year that is similar to the C.A.M.P. Program that I can enroll her in?
