Hi, I'm Kevin Domanico from Reach High Consulting and Therapy, an ABA clinic over on the southwest side of Bloomington. I was contacting you today to ask if there was any way you could pass on information to your students about volunteering for our summer camp this summer. We run a Summer Camp for children with autism and other developmental delays that uses the practices of Applied Behavior Analysis services to help children learn language, social, play, academic, and self-care skills. ABA is a scientific method of improving socially significant behavior using tactics derived from the principles of behavior. We take ABA and use it in traditional camp settings and activities to help our campers grow. It's a great way for them to have a lot of fun while at the same time learning and growing. Our summer camp runs from 9am to 4pm from June 13th to August 5th from 9am to 4pm and we are looking for volunteers for any part of it, if they can't do the whole thing that isn't a problem we're willing to work around them. We have a limited number of paid positions available as well for those with more experience. Please e-mail me if this sounds like something your students may be interested in and we can give you even more information on the whole endeavor. Thank you for your time, hope to hear from you soon!
