About

Summer Camp for Children with Autism includes speech therapy, occupational therapy, gymnastics, music and movement therapy, piano lessons, music and socio-recreational games, outdoor games such as tag, soccer, and basketball, and indoor activities such as board games, card games, chess, knitting, and weaving.

Children also play in mixed groups under supervision during music and socio-recreational games.

The summer camp is for children with autism and dyspraxia and is also open to neurotypical children, including siblings. The morning program is for children ages 2–5, and the afternoon program is for children ages 6–8. An intensive early intervention program runs five days a week for 2.5 hours each day, and a small number of children ages 2–4 are accepted for this program hosted on the Waldorf School campus. The multidisciplinary team includes speech therapists, occupational therapists, movement and music specialists, piano instructors, and support staff, and a licensed speech therapist provides individual or small group (two children) speech therapy. Superbills are provided for speech and occupational therapy, and invoices are provided for other activities to seek reimbursement through the regional center.

Every day, neurotypical elementary and middle school children participate in the summer camp, and each autistic child is paired with a buddy whose role is to assist them, facilitate play, and establish a stable relationship. The program uses the Brain-Body Dynamics Model (BBDM), described as a cohesive, evidence-based framework designed to foster holistic development in children on the autism spectrum.
