 Special Care's after school and summer programs are designed for school-age children, ages 6 to 21 years. Unlike typical children's programs where kids "age out" at 10-12 years of age, most children involved at Special Care cannot be left unattended, so staying home is not an option. Also, children with special needs cannot take a three month summer break from therapy activities without suffering significant, sometimes even life-threatening, skill regression.
After school and summer programs also offer a wonderful opportunity for children with special needs and their siblings to continue to share a set of peers and friends even after they have been mainstreamed into what are frequently separate educational classrooms.
