Anyone know of a good summer writing program?

Anonymous
My young teen has trouble organizing his thoughts on paper and writing something that's coherent, both in form and function. He has Asperger's and I suspect this makes it hard for him to think through and write about topics he doesn't care about (he can write much better on the very few topics that do interest him, but those are mainly scientific and military).
I am looking for a summer program where he can practice essay writing and get one-on-one time with a writing coach, not just be in a loosey-goosey fiction club.

Thank you!

GMU has a summer writing program.

I found the tutors at Huntington Learning Center to be wonderful. I would talk to them about structuring a one-to-one tutoring program for him. My son went twice a week last summer and it was a big help and he even LIKED going.

if you're not trying to find the cheapest way, you can get one-on-one coaching through Writopia. It doesn't sound like one of their camps would be the best for him, but the coaching might be.
