HFA/Asperger's Summer Camp and Possible After School Program at UMLY
Hey there folks,I've been working to try to find a viable after-school option for my son after having a horrible experience with the mainstream after-school program in the T/E district.

Nicole mentioned that you had interest in starting a child care co-op. I share your interests and hope Nicole starts a forum for actively discussing this idea again. I am not at all sure of the history behind this site, although I found a short writeup on the mother with 3 autistic children who began this idea as a non-profit. But perhaps I am missing something on the site already, but I am not clear on what has happened since, and does anyone meet face-to-face for real body meetings. :-) Something so large could never unfold just through emailing, just my humble opinion. I live in Cochranville, but take my son to CDC in Coatesville for school each morning. I was wondering if anyone might like to meet for coffee or lunch to share ideas! I would love to chat with you, Beth, about your ideas. I realize if we write here, others will have access to reading our thoughts. Which is a good thing, as the more interest we generate, the more chance of seeing this dream come to fruition. Thanks, Beth, hope to hear from you!
