Choosing the right summer camp for an individual with autism can be a challenging task. Since there's a variety of choices, matching the ideal camp to an individual's personality, skill level, needs for safety, and fitting that in with a family's busy schedule requires you to start planning early so everyone gets to enjoy the summer.
