A Camp For Every Kid

Every kid should be able to look back on summer camp as a time spent having fun, making friends, and gaining new skills and independence. But as if the process of finding the right camp isn’t baffling enough, parents of children with special needs come to the search process with an additional, and often complex, set of concerns. New York Family spoke with Gary Shulman of Resources for Children with Special Needs to get at the heart of some of parents’ most important questions about camp. (We also encourage parents to check out RCSN’s schedule of free workshops—held all over the city, they cover everything from Early Intervention to obtaining ongoing support services to preparing for high school and beyond.)
