Children's Association for Maximum Potential (CAMP) is a non-profit corporation established in 1979 to provide a wide range of recreational, rehabilitative, educational, and respite services for children with developmental disabilities and their families. Central to each of CAMP's programs is the provision of medical support. This ensures that every child, regardless of the degree of his or her medical needs, will be able to participate in all programs. CAMP was founded with the express purpose of filling major gaps in services for children with developmental disabilities. This is also done indirectly by training potential care-providers at all levels - teens through professionals - in order to support families in the care of their children.

Friday's Kids provides free child care for children with special needs and their siblings. The program normally runs on Friday evenings from 6 - 10pm during the fall and spring college semesters. There is a licensed nurse on site and one trained volunteer for every child with special needs. Please email us for an application and a nurse will schedule an evaluation with you.

I offer respite care, in your own home or my home, to individuals with the following disabilities: Developmental Delays, ASDs (Autism Spectrum Disorders), Mentally Handicapped, and other similar disabilities. I enjoy working with individuals with ASDs. I have volunteered, helped out with Sharonsweb Autism Foundation. I also have a brother with Schizophrenia, moderate-severe MR, and severe Autistic tendencies. I'm pretty flexible on times, although, currently, I'm only accepting evening care. I sometimes bring along treats for the children as well as sensory toys, to calm them down. Unless, you specifically do not want your children to have candy, then please let me know! Thank you.

During my free time, I enjoy doing respite care and organizing support group meetings for ASDs (Autism Spectrum Disorders). I have a brother with severe Autism tendencies. I'm willing to go the extra mile for anyone and everything. I've volunteered to watch children for free of charge, but now, I want to do this as a full time or part time job. I have references if anyone is interested. I'm here to listen and negotiate a reasonable price range. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to times. If you have any questions or are interested in my services or about my group, please let me know.
