PINEVILLE, La. (KALB) – While it is hard for working parents to find the perfect summer program for their student, it is even harder for those who have children with special needs.
Aside from Buddy Camp, there is a new summer program in town that still has available slots.
As the school ended two J.I. Barron special education teachers said they realized a need for special education summer camps in Central Louisiana.
“These kids they want to be like everybody else,” said program co-founder Amy Porche. “They want to participate, they want to make friends and they want to have things that they can do. However, they do require structure.”
Immediately they started putting together the ‘Here We Grow Summer Reading Program’.
