Do you know someone who has autism? There have been increased numbers of those with autism facing today’s society and it is because of that, a new program proves vital. Most children go to camps in the summer but for kids like Marshall Wingfield, that really isn’t an option because he has autism.
Camps for children with autism spectrum disorder thrive through camp environments.
There are summer camps and after school programs for children with autism.
Instead, Marshall goes to a day camp with other children and teens that have a form of autism just like he does. Here he doesn’t stick out like he would in a regular summer camp. This program and many others like it offer summer camps and even after school care for those on the autistic spectrum. To learn more about this program, read more in this article.
People with autism are very concrete thinkers and really rely on visual information to organize themselves, so we try to provide that every step of the way,” Gage said.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
