Dear Blabby,
My son is extremely high functioning, slightly speech delayed, could use some work on attention skills etc. I am looking for a camp that will motivate, stimulate and move him along. Does SEPTA compile a list of appropriate Day Camps for children with special needs? How do I get my hands on it to begin some research?

Dear J.
SEPTA might be a good place to start but don’t forget the New Rochelle Recreation Department. Contact Nina Shawn-Gainor at that office. You can also try school social workers. They often receive a lot of information about summer camps both in and out of New Rochelle.
You might even be able to get some financial assistance. There is a “campership fund” foundation that raises money to assist those in need to attend camps. Joanne Goldman or Carol Feldman at the school district central office at City Hall may be able to help you with that.
