Considering an Overnight Camp Program for your Child on the Autism Spectrum? Contributed by The initial thought of sending your child with Autism Spectrum Disorder to an overnight camp may send chills down your spine. In your imagination your child could become homesick or hurt, have difficulty sleeping in a strange bed, be forced to endure teasing by peers, or be misunderstood by staff due to communication difficulties. After some calm reflection, however, you may alternatively envision that a successful camp experience could potentially create some incredible lifelong memories for your child. Time spent at an overnight camp might also lay the groundwork for future positive life experiences by providing countless opportunities for physical, sensory, cognitive and social/communicative growth. (Of course, a side benefit for the family might also be some badly needed respite time.) Even though you may objectively recognize the benefits of sending your child to an overnight camp, the prospect of finding the right camp and actually sending him away for an extended period may still seem tremendously daunting. For that matter, you may even be contemplating whether your child is ready for the overnight camp experience. The following tips will help you make a decision about whether a particular camp is right for your child and help you prepare him, the camp staff and even yourself for the adventure. ![]() Setting the stage for a positive experience will involve a number of components.

Since you know your child best, your own intuition around your child’s demeanor and capabilities is likely your best guide. Additionally, you may also wish to ask yourself the following: • Has my child successfully stayed overnight away from home while family members were present (i.e., in a motel on vacation or at a relative’s house)? • Has my child ever successfully stayed somewhere overnight without me or my spouse being present? • How does my child feel/behave when separated from family members? • How does he cope with new experiences? Does preparation for a new experience help with his coping ability? • Has he been exposed to any positive or negative information/myths about overnight camping from schoolmates, relatives, or neighbors – and if so, has he been influenced by them? Has he been exposed to media that paint the camp experience in a positive light? Operating systems: a modern perspective / Gary J. Gary nutt operating systems 3rd edition pearson 2004 pdf files free.
