[quote=Anonymous]I have been a camp director at a camp that did accept SN kids. We typically had 5-6 SN kids out of 150 kids or so- mostly kids on the spectrum, but also Down Syndrome and physical disabilities. We never kicked a SN kid out, but we also tried to have a fair amount of pre-planning with the parents, so that we could give the counselors a plan to deal with challenging behaviors. How to react to certain behaviors, when it was time for the child to spend some time cooling off in the office, etc. The children that were more successful had parents that reached out to us before camp with specific information on their child and how to deal with certain situations. OP, I don't know what communication you had with the camp about your child's SN, but a one page sheet with a brief description of the SN and some suggestions on how to handle common situations might help with future camps.[/quote]
