For kids with special needs, camp comes with valuable therapy, higher price tag

Therapeutic camps, with small-group activities and individual plans for each camper, are often modeled after the weekly therapy sessions and classroom help that many of the children receive during the school year. The goals are the same: to improve their academic and social skills and help them better function in what often seems like an overwhelming world.
