The Autism Summer Program 2011 Plan

|
What to Bring & Wear
Participants should come in play clothes with comfortable shoes. They should dress appropriate for the weather (we spend a lot of time outdoors). They should pack swimwear and a towel daily for spontaneous sprinklers and water balloons. Participants should bring plenty of fluids, including a water bottle, a morning snack, a lunch, and an afternoon snack (refrigerators and microwaves are available). A backpack is a great idea for change of clothes, taking projects home, and storing personal items. We are not responsible for lost items.
Transportation
Transportation is the responsibility of the family. Some families elect to carpool. You can email us at summerprogram2012@gmail.com by June 15th if you want to be put on a carpooling list. We will send out the list with each family’s general geographic location to everyone who wants to participate. It will be up to you to contact other parents for carpooling.
We have a partnership with Let it Ride Transport for those with transportation needs. 414-350-3088. You can contact them directly to arrange pick-up from your home.
Childcare
Tardies & Absences
It is important that you let us
know in advance about tardies or absences. Use email summerprogram2012@gmail.com if you are contacting us about a future absence or tardy. The fee for the program is a flat fee. We have scheduled staff and prepared for your child to be at the Program. Fee changes are only made for pre-discussed vacations/appointments.
Pick-up and Drop-off
For the safety of your child, you may not drop-off prior to 9:00 am unless you are participating in our childcare service. Staff will be waiting outside to bring your child into the building, or you are welcome to walk them in yourselves. We are located at 1455 97th Street. Pick-up and drop-off occurs at the south end of the parking lot.
Outings
Every Tuesday, participants will go on an outing to Cool Waters Water Park in Greenfield Park. It is located at: 2028 South 124th Street West Allis
This is our 4th year having a partnership with Cool Waters. They supply us with special accommodations, understanding the specific needs of our group.
These outings are to teach the participants how to function in the community, and to have some recreational experiences with their peers. Here are some important instructions to make our outings safe and fun.
With our experience, training, and organization, we have been successful with all of our participants in the outing environment. However, we understand that these outings may not work out for all participants, or may not work out on a specific day. In other words, the outings are not mandatory for participation in The Program. In such cases, we accommodate by having that participant attend another day of the week, or by attending the program at the center instead.
Have your child come to The
Program already wearing his/her swimsuit We will provide coolers for packed lunches
Rainy Days If it is raining on the day of the outing, we will cancel the outing and drop-off and pick-up will be at the Program site. If we are not sure of the weather, we will contact you before the beginning of the day, to let you know our plans. If it is unseasonably cold, we may replace the outing with an outing to the Milwaukee county Zoo. This change would be discussed with you well in advance.
