Finding a summer program for a child with special needs can be a daunting task. You want a program that understands your child’s unique needs and can help him or her succeed. Students who do not attend summer school are at risk for learning loss and an increase in challenging behaviors. Green Chimneys, a leader in special needs programming since 1947, is offering a six-week summer program at Clearpool Education Center in Carmel, NY. The Clearpool summer program will serve children, 5-18 years old, who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, social and/or learning challenges.
