An election is coming up for our U.S friends. For the sake of our ASD kids and students, lets not lose our minds, demonstrate B&W thinking nor teach the impressionable that it is ok to put others down for different values and beliefs. Let us teach them to see two sides of one coin and recognize the good in others. The news and social media has become adept at taking one picture and presenting a different angle completing ignoring the other angle. It teaches us and our children to be divisive and dismissive of others. Instead teach them the value of Democracy, the freedom of choice, talk about why some people make different choices than we do. Take your lens and show them how to see the other angle. Lets sow peace, not discord during the election. Our kids are impressionable, they hear us speaking when we dont think they are listening and they learn from our behavior. Sow the seeds of peace, open minded thinking and acceptance. Our Kids and students will become wiser adults and less black and white in their views.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I have accompanied clients for 2 summers to John's camp. I have been to the Social & Life Skills Camp and the 18 and older "Moving Forward Camp." My clients and myself look forward each summer to attending his camp. 
John has excellent behaviour management skills, teaches the clients social and life skills (planning your bus route, bus etiquette, looking at a menu and ordering, tipping, planning and organizing outings, getting to know people, body language, budgeting money, etc.) that are important to daily living as well as incorporating the clients' interests that are age appropriate. He develops a great relationship with the clients and jokes around with them to develop a rapport. Sometimes our daily schedule changes, which helps clients deal with changes that can occur in every day life. The clients develop friendships with each other and help each other out thanks to John's teaching. John allows the clients to make mistakes and encourages them to work as a team to solve the problem. John captures our daily outings on camera and/or film so parents can view their children interacting and having fun at camp. 

It is a great camp for fostering independence while incorporating your child's interest which in turn creates motivation! I have been to many summer camps and this camp is one of the top camps that my clients and myself look forward to attending each summer!
