ASGC Social Skills Summer Camp 2009 For Children ages 6 to 18

The Autism Society of Greater Cleveland is very pleased to announce the start of a fantastic opportunity for children ages 6 thru 18 with a diagnosis of Autism, Asperger's or PDD.

With the help of a team of dedicated Special Education Teachers, experienced in autism, we have developed a Summer Social Skills Camp for July, 2009.

The 1 week camp sessions will be:

Session One: July 6 thru July 10, 2009 for ages 6 thru 12 Session Two: July 13 thru July 17, 2009 for ages 13 thru 18

The camp will run from 9:00 AM till 2:00 PM, Monday thru Friday.

It will be staffed with a ratio of 4 campers per certified teacher. There will also be one typical peer/student aid per four campers. The cost for the camp is $250.00 per week. There will be a limit of 20 campers with a diagnosis of autism, asperger's or PDD per session.

The camp will be held at The City of Independence Old Recreation Bldg., 6200 Elmwood Ave., Independence, OH 44131. The building is located within the city park. It has access to a pavilion, playground, baseball, soccer fields and basketball courts. It includes full kitchen/bathroom areas. There are three separate rooms to accomodate teaching, play and a quiet area. It is located west of Brecksville Road, South of Rockside Road (I-77/480).

Participants in the ASGC Social Skills Summer Camp will have opportunities to practice such skills as problem solving, conflict resolution, respecting the ideas of others, cooperation and team work without direct instruction. Positive social interactions promote healthy relationships, a sense of belonging and well being.

ASGC Social Skills Summer Camp's goal is for children with autism spectrum disorders to further develop social skills taught and practiced at camp into their daily life. The Summer Camp will also provide educational support as identified through the camper's Individual Education Plan (IEP).If you have any questions or if you would like to be placed on a registration list, please call us at(216) 556-4937. This program will fill up fast, please contact us as soon as possible if you would like your child to enroll. Thank you.
