The Asperger's Summer Program creates an environment to develop peer relationships, gain "social capital", and learn new social skills. For the past 7 years, we have been providing our Summer Program to dozens of children and adolescents with Asperger’s Syndrome, PDD-NOS, and High Communicating Autism.

The Summer Program is a combination therapeutic and recreational environment. Participants may sign-up for either a 4-week or 8-week session. We meet 6 hours per day. Participants may sign-up for 3 or 5 days a week. The days of the week the participants meet are pre-set. We pro-rate for prearranged time off (e.g. family vacation). Ages range from 6 to 22 years old, and participants are divided into age groups. We go on outings every Wednesday to everywhere from the museum to Six Flags. We have 1 staff member for every 3 kids. Staff members are Masters, Bachelors, and college level. The Program Directors, Tim Kabara, Ed.S and Kara Felsman, MA spend the full day with the participants at least 3 days a week.
