Can Summer Camp really help children with disabilities?

As part of my research, I have read different website in reference to summer camp for children with disabilities. Summer camp provides great opportunity for children with disabilities that allow other to interact with children without a disability. Children without a disability give them moral support to help them to build their self confident. During a home visit a parent stated how summer camp has really giving her child the greatest learning experience with peers and adults. The child was diagnosed with Autism last year. She was provided with many resources to council her with the child. One day someone asked her “have you ever thought about sending him to summer camp?” She replied “No” They gave her the information she needed to receive more information. So she contacted the summer camp and she was able to receive information to enroll her child into summer camp. She stated this was the best thing that ever happens for her and her child. She explained that her child is much calm, focus, and able to interact with peers.
