[quote=Anonymous]Hello, 
We have enrolled DS for a main stream summer camp program, which he attended for 1 week. He is verbal and is very smart but has significant social deficits. We wanted him in this camp for modeling social behaviors of his neurotypical peers as well as fun activities such as swimming etc. 
Today we have received a call from the director, telling us how sweet and smart he is, but needs significant prompting and handholding to participate as well as rigidity towards transitions. Their staff ratio is not allowing them to handle his needs for additional prompting and guiding.   
He was in a learning center program at MCPS 1st & 2nd grade but is mainstreaming for 3rd grade next year to his home school w. supports in his IEP. He is has no physical or intellectual l disability but is very behind in social development, can hardly carry on 2 way conversation, short attention span and focused more on self interest topics. 
I am scrambling for a new placement in a summer camp because of work and no family near that can watch him during the day. Any advise where to look? Anyone out there that is aware of space available in their camp of choice that can support a kid like mine, that they are happy with?  Primary goal is a fun summer rather than special ed. add-ons like speech and OT but those would be a bonus. 
We are in Silver Spring/Rockville area but willing to travel up o 1/2 hr. 
Thank you in advance.
