I tutor a number if children with autism in various disciplines, academic, social skills, and recreational skills. The patents of these children have also found support among each other and we have unofficial ly become known as "MarysKids". For three years in a row, MAAP Services has supported our efforts to run an overnight camping experience for these children and their families. For most families, this is the very first or only time they can comfortably take the entire family out in the great outdoors and truly enjoy all the wonders of nature around them. They can lay on the ground and see the stars and constellations, walk the trails and try their luck at fishing. No one is out off by the occasional meltdown or exuberant shouts of joy from the children. Everyone looks out for everyone..... We all pitch in for campfire foods and most participate in the hayrides through the county park . Without MAAP support, these families would not be able to enjoy this wonderful , all-American adventure!
