Your tips on accessible places
and activities
 Who:Parent of Evan, 8, neurological disability What:An overnight summer camp for children with learning and neurological disabilities. Swimming, tubing, gross-motor sensory room, drama centre and nature centre. Where:Orillia, Ontario When:Summer 2008 Why:“The staff at Camp Winston ‘get’ my kid in a way that people at school or in the community don’t. They don’t label his behaviour as negative. They find safe, acceptable ways for Evan to express himself and help him feel like he fits in. That increases his confidence and ability to take risks. The program is very structured, with visual schedules. Throughout the year, Camp Winston offers sibling and grandparent weekends and behavioural workshops for parents. › Send your tips to The editor
