Anxiously Anticipating! A Parallel Journey To An Art And Equestrian Camp For Children With Disabilities, Lorna C. Timmerman, Ruth E. Jefferson
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
In many communities, there are few opportunities for children with disabilities to participate in engaging summer camp experiences.

This presentation will explore one family’s efforts to prepare and support a child’s first venture into organized summer programming. At the same time, this presentation will detail the preparation (and surprising level of anxiety) …
