4、much of his summer doing handwriting exercises set to music,practicing conversation techniques with other kids on the soccer field and improving his motor planning by learning to ride a bike. In other words,the 6-year-old from Bethesda is going to camp. Matthew has autism (孤独症 ). So his five weeks a

5、t Basic Concepts in Rockville, which began on June 28, will be different from the typical summer day camp in the Washington area. Few counselors at Basic Concepts are home from college for the summer. The staff members are trained specialists in speech and occupational therapy as well as special edu

6、cation teachers and play therapists. And there are lots of them: one therapist for every two or three children. Equipment goes far beyond what you usually find at the playground, including weighted vests, trampolines (蹦床 ) and swings commonly used in therapy sessions. “ I love that he can go to a su

7、mmer camp like every other kid,“ said Matthews mother,Ali Hoffman. Basic Concepts, a private therapy center offering speech and language services and other help for children with mild learning differences,began a therapeutic camp a decade ago with 10 children. “This year, it is at capacity of 90 stu

8、dents and had to turn families away because of a lack of space,“ said Katy Whidden, a speech and language pathologist at the center. Across the Washington region, enrollment in therapeutic camps soars every year, although they are far more expensive than traditional day camp. Camp Friendship,which i

9、s run by Tots to Teens,a speech therapy practice in Woodbridge, drew kids from five counties last year for its program in Stafford County. This year， it is adding a session in Prince William County to meet the demand. Lynne Israel, director of Lynne C. Israel and Associates in the District, an occup

10、ational therapy group, said she has been able to fill as many as 70 slots at her summer camp in recent years, with requests for more. Complicated Issues Most campers have a combination of delays and diagnoses that can include autism spectrum disorders and learning disabilities as well as sensory pro

11、cessing problems, defined by difficulty handling certain sounds, sights, smells, textures and other environmental stimuli. These children struggle with reading, writing, cutting and sustaining conversations with other kids. Loud noises, bright lights or unfamiliar tastes or textures can disrupt or d

12、isorganize them. Therapeutic camps, with small-group activities and individual plans for each camper, are often modeled after the weekly therapy sessions and classroom help that many of the children receive during the school year. The goals are the same-.to improve their academic and social skills a

13、nd help them better function in what often seems like an overwhelming world. So cooking,for example,becomes a way to expand vocabulary and teach campers how to work together. Science experiments force children to get their hands dirty and get accustomed to new textures. Arts and crafts projects doub

14、le as intense practice of fine motor skills. “ They give them therapy where they dont even know theyre getting it,“ said Holly Jankowski of Germantown. Her daughter Apryl,6,has pervasive developmental disorder,an autism spectrum disorder, and is in her third summer at Basic Concepts. Thick pudding,

15、chewy gummy bears and hard candy used to make Apryl turn her chair around away from the table. But at Basic Concepts,she has taken small steps to improve her diet: She must bring a snack to her lips,politely kiss it and put it back down on the plate before refusing it. “Its a new strategy that they

16、tried,and now we do that at home,“ her mother said. Across the United States,as more children are found to have special needs,their parents are seeking help to hone such skills as handwriting and playground manners. Susan Feeley is director of admissions at the Lab School in the District, a private

17、school for students with learning disabilities, which also runs a summer camp. She attributes the growing demand, in part, to an increase in early diagnosis of children with learning differences and parents understanding that early intervention can make a tremendous difference in a childs long-term

18、success. “ Especially with younger children, the earlier you get remediation and therapy in place, while you cant change the blueprint of who the child is,you can really help the child develop quicker and develop coping mechanisms,“ Feeley said. Allison Mistrett, an occupational therapist at Leaps a

19、nd Bounds in the District, which offers a six-week camp for pre-schoolers, thinks that more heavy academic demands for kindergartners are partly responsible for the increased interest. For children with learning delays,the standards at school are even more challenging. “ One of the things we hear mo

20、re and more is that now kindergarten is what used to be first grade,“ Mistrett said. “ I attribute a lot of it to the demands schools place on kids. “ The downside of these camps is the price. The average day camp costs $ 100 to $ 275 per week, according to the American Camp Association. But a speci

21、al-needs camp, with a different program for nearly every child, small therapist-to-student ratios and lots of expensive gym equipment, costs much more. Camp Friendship is $ 500 for a week of half-day sessions. The Lab Schools five-week program ranges from $ 1,275 to $ 2,735, depending on the activit

22、ies. The six-week camp at Leaps and Bounds is $ 2,400. But many parents are willing to pay. They consider summer a time for intense work on skills and an opportunity to help close the gap between their children and typically developing peers. “ Everything in the special-needs community is expensive,

23、 so I feel almost immune to it at this point,“ Hoffman said. Matthew would “ get lost at a typical camp. This is really the best opportunity for him to have a camp experience but get extra help. So for me,its totally worth it. “ Huge Social Step Jodie Steiner said shes hopeful that her son Gabriel M

24、ini,7,will get some help making friends during hi$ three weeks of camp at the Treatment and Learning Centers in Rockville. Gabriel has autism. “ He really,really wants to be social. He likes to be part of a group,but he gets there and freaks out,“said Steiner, of Takoma Park. “If he can get there an

25、d not be intimidated,that would be a huge step for him. “ At Camp Friendship, one of the cooking activities will be making popcorn, to go with the camps circus theme. “Campers will watch the kernels pop and then talk to one another about it. Or, as the therapists see it,the activity will teach vocab

26、ulary and social language“ ,said Jennifer Ruckner, a speech and language pathologist at Tots to Teens Therapy, which runs Camp Friendship. “Theyre able to use very typical activities and learn how to play,how to use their language,how to socially use those skills to work simultaneously beside somebo

27、dy,and an adult doesnt have to be there to prompt it all of the time,“Ruckner said. “Thats what makes it different from going to a day camp. “ 2 What does the author say about Matthew? （ A） He is going to a camp in Bethesda. （ B） He likes playing soccer with other kids. （ C） He will spend five weeks
