We are happy to offer a centre-based summer camp for autistic youth to engage in opportunities to practice essential life skills. The camp will be run by a behaviour consultant and all other camp leaders have extensive professional experience working within the field of ABA. Camp participants will come to our centre in Richmond and participate in several indoor and outdoor games, crafts, cooking, cleaning, and more. IN addition, the last day of each camp week will include an outing using public transportation which the students will learn to prepare for.
Skills targeted during a day of camp:
- Communication: Making requests and follow steps
- Group participation and planning
- Fine and gross motor skills
