    Welcome to Autism Outreach Inc.’s

    Summer Camp 2010 program!

    Autism Outreach Inc. strives to provide a language based social learning experience through the use of ABA methodology (Verbal Behavior and RDI techniques) in a camp setting. On a daily basis, our students are challenged to meet individualized personal goals while participating in an exciting and educational group setting.

    In addition, our summer services include intensive one on one therapy, which is designed to strengthen the skills necessary for successful group participation. We meet the needs of our students through the use of highly trained and enthusiastic staff who come to us from a variety of educational backgrounds and all have the common goal of promoting and generalizing language and social skills.

    We work with children ranging from ages 2-15 and varying skill levels (all abilities on the ASD spectrum). Once registration and necessary additional paperwork is received, our students are placed into smaller breakout groups that allow them to learn and socialize with children of similar age and skill levels.

     

    1:1 Sessions

    One to one sessions will meet in the mornings from 8 to 12. You may now choose from an 8 to 10 session, 10 to 12 session, or 8 to 12 session. In addition to these morning sessions, we will be holding one to one sessions in the afternoons after our group camps. These will be held from 4 to 6 pm every day. Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in any of these sessions, so that we can coordinate our therapists’ schedules with your family’s!

    Group Sessions

    We will continue to hold a group session from 12:30 to 4 every day. During this time, the children will participate in a variety of themed activities that are designed using primarily verbal behavior techniques. The campers will also participate in art and social play activities. AOI has a variety of qualified staff to work with your children, with at least one consultant on staff every day. We will also continue to provide a 3:1 student to staff ratio, with the option for a 1:1 aide to work with your child when recommended by your consultant.

    Location

    Camp will be held in our new location in Herndon.

    An Example of our Camp Schedule:

    12:30- 12:40 Transition time in OT/Sensory room

    12:40- 1:00 Circle Time - This time is used to prepare the children for group instruction as well as expose them to language and concepts that they will be encountering that day.

    1:00- 1:20 Language Activity- During this time the children are separated in to groups based on skill level and age. The students are presented with a variety of language based activities designed to practice a variety of components of language, including: identifying, labeling, and answering questions based on the selected topic of the week.

    1:20- 1:30- OT/Sensory Break

    1:30- 1:50- Art Activity- The students complete art activities that are related to the theme of the week while practicing using language (receptive and expressive skills) as well as social skills (interacting with those around them) in a group setting.

    1:50- 2:10- Snack break

    2:10- 2:30- Language Activity 2- Still focusing on the theme of the week but targeting a set of language skills that was not encountered in the first activity.

    2:30- 2:50- Art Activity 2/ Social Skills- This second art activity is designed to foster the creativity of each child, therefore it is less structured while still focusing on the theme of the week and pertinent social skills.

    2:50-3:00- OT/Sensory Break

    3:00- 3:20 Physical Activity - The students participate in a physical activity that is related to the theme. This staff targets social skills associated with the activity, such as taking turns, requesting items or working cooperatively.

    3:20- 3:30- “Water break”- This time is used to transition the children back to the group and to begin to focus on additional instruction.

    3:30-3:50- Structured Play/Social Skills- An activity is presented to target play skills. The skills targeted are based on the composition of each break-out group. Some examples of skills might be imaginative or reciprocal play.
