The long summer break can be a tough time for children with special needs and their families. Most need the structure and stability of a daily routine to be at their best, and to keep practicing the life skills they learn during the school year, so that they retain their learning.
Participants are at various levels of independence and, during the summer, the continuous developmental support offered by their schools is missing. Families do their best, but many do not have the resources to fully engage their children over the two-month break and – even if they do – they often need a break from the demands of intensive one-on-one care.
The Delta Life Skills Summer Program fills the gap for these children and their families – and, as a non-profit, volunteer driven, charitable society, we rely on your donations to help us operate.
