The League Camping & Therapeutic Recreation is proud to expand its services to serve participants of the Autism Waiver. Our Autism Services programs are designed to focus on what each participant can do. With the assistance from trained professionals, participants work to achieve their individual goals. Autism Waiver participants can join The League for the Therapeutic Integration program, Intensive Individual Support Services In-Home Respite Care, or our camping programs by using respite hours.
Participants can be approved for up to 30 hours of Intensive Individual Support Services. With the assistance of Support Counselors, participants will work on individual goals in the areas of socialization, self help, recreation or other areas needing support. Support Counselors work one on one with the participant, at home or in the community.
Family Training is often done in addition to Intensive Individual Support Services and is designed to assist families in their relationship with individuals with Autism. Family Training is always done by a Masters’ level clinician or by a certified special education teacher.
The League is proud to begin a Therapeutic Integration program beginning in early Fall 2006. The Therapeutic Integration program is an after school program which will take place at our East Cold Spring location. This program will follow the Baltimore City school calendar and will run from 3pm to 7pm each day. Participants will take part in activities such as swimming, cooking, sports, and fitness activities while incorporating social skills and self-esteem building.
There are two opportunities to utilize respite services through The League. First, participants can take part in Camp Greentop, our traditional summer camp for kids and adults with disabilities as well as our Winter Camping programming. Both of these camping programs are licensed by the state of Maryland and Camp Greentop is accredited by the American Camp Association. Second, Autism Waiver participants can receive respite services through our In-Home program, where qualified professionals will come to the home and provide respite care.
