A highly organized and structured environment using visual supports daily schedules, icons, language boards to support organization and communication

The daily schedule includes, sensory breaks, focus on academic goals, life skills, arts and crafts, outdoor recreational activities, communication sessions, social interaction/ skills and behavior intervention supports

Whose needs are best met at Camp Access?
Camp Access is designed to ensure students who require 1:1 support, a high degree of organization, have limited to no verbal skills and may experience challenges with behavior that limits their access to inclusive opportunities.

  • We send daily communication logs home, that have anecdotal observations and progress reports
  • We send data sheets home on progress in communication via typing and other access methods
