The online support group for parents/caregivers of special needs children and adults was held on May 2nd. The topic was summer fun.
When the school year ends many parents look for summer fun activities for their children. Parents of differently abled children and adults have an especially difficult time finding affordable camps and activities. With help from the area agencies, special needs parents, and educators the group discussed several options for summer fun.
Below is the list of summer fun activities that were shared at the meeting. Please add any comments or additional information about camps or experiences that you feel might be helpful to others.
