The Summer Communication Camp at AutismUp is a 6 week long collaborative speech program developed for individuals 16+ years old who are nonverbal or have limited verbal skills. Participants should already use or be interested in trialing an Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) device. Qualified participants will be paired one-on-one with a graduate student from the Nazareth University Speech-Language Pathology Program. The program will be broken up into three intensive hour-long blocks: individual focused teaching, group practice, and individual review and skill reinforcement. At the end of the program, participants will be able to leave with greater AAC skills, an update to their current system, or a recommendation for a long-term system that can be implemented with their Speech and Language Pathologist. SPACE IS LIMITED. This year's program will run from 7/7-8/14. All prospective participant applications will be reviewed and pre-screened to determine eligibility for the AutismUp Summer Communication Boot Camp. If all criteria is met for enrollment, AutismUp staff will reach out to confirm enrollment and complete the registration process. After your participant is enrolled, a Nazareth University representative will contact you to schedule an intake meeting. If your participant does not meet the criteria for the Communication Camp program, we will contact you to discuss alternate programming options available through AutismUp.
