    This study evaluated a summer day camp for multihandicapped preschoolers, finding it effective in improving children's skills and parent satisfaction. Student counselors gained valuable training in therapeutic interventions and individualized program design.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Pediatric Therapy
    • Special Education

    Background:

    • Multihandicapped preschool children require specialized, intensive therapeutic interventions.
    • Existing therapy programs often lack comprehensive, real-world application settings.
    • Student training in therapeutic roles can enhance service delivery and professional development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a six-week enriched summer day camp for multihandicapped preschoolers.
    • To assess the effectiveness of student counselors in providing individualized care and therapy.
    • To trial the Functional Skills Profile (FSP) for measuring changes in low-functioning, developmentally handicapped children.

    Main Methods:

    • A six-week day camp program involving twenty multihandicapped preschoolers.

  • Student counselors received training and were assigned to individual children and families for assessment, goal-setting, and program design.
  • The Functional Skills Profile (FSP) was used to measure performance changes.

    • Main Results:

    • The camp program demonstrated improvement in the participating children.
    • Student counselor training proved effective, with counselors actively involved in assessment and program implementation.
    • Parent satisfaction with the program and outcomes was notably high.

    Conclusions:

    • The described summer day camp model offers a beneficial environment for multihandicapped preschoolers.
    • Student-led therapeutic interventions within a structured camp setting can be highly effective.
    • The Functional Skills Profile (FSP) shows promise as an assessment tool for this population.
