Less structure opens opportunities to grow independent living skills

Set the Summer Schedule

The school year has the great benefit of offering a child a structured day, however, trying to create a similar structure within the home environment during the summer months can be hard, but it is well worth the effort. Summer months present the perfect opportunity to help a child grow daily independent living skills at home or camp, and also to work on other skills that may not be available during the school year.

Day Camp Choices

While it may be difficult, and sometimes feels impossible, to find camps that can accommodate a child with special needs, there are some good local options, including iCanBike Camp for children with autism.

Before committing to a camp, ask around and do some initial research to determine if you think camp is a good match for your child. Most camps for children with special needs are not just a social outlet, but also offer additional programs to help develop life skills that a child can benefit from long after camp ends.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
