Well, the first week went really well.
He says he's enjoying camp, which is something he's never said before - ever. The first few days had a few outbursts, nothing major, all for obvious reasons, like losing his favourite hat (which we luckily found); but the camp handled it perfectly - as a camp open to special needs kids should.
Our challenge now will be to get J actually participating. You see, he's spent most of the first week sitting in a gazebo, colouring with his 1-1 worker. Not that I mind him colouring, but I do want him to do some socializing.
After what happened at his old camp, I don't think I've seen his confidence so low in a very long time. It's amazing to see his confidence get back up there.
Next week, once he's settled, we'll need to start encouraging more participation. But for now, we're so proud of our little guy for having such a great week!
