What Our Families Say
"I just want to take a second to say how grateful we are to all the amazing work Diane does for the community with Caring Strategies. Not just her, but the whole family came together to create an inclusive, judgment free event. The sensory Easter event went beautifully and it was due to all of her planning and hard work. Diane, I want to tell you how thankful we are for you, and for being one of the amazing examples in the community to help our neurodivergent kiddos feel welcome. Not only does it provide amazing learning opportunities and social activities for our kiddos, but it brings parents together who can forge bonds and feel relaxed."

"For any parent, thinking of summer camp for your child can bring feelings of excitement and fear. Adding a layer of having a child with special needs may only amplify your emotions. Caring Strategies exceeded our expectations for our son. Our son loved all the counselors! We had so much peace knowing that he was in good hands. Our son truly enjoyed summer camp, he would get so excited when we would drive up every morning! I enjoyed the detailed schedule, the daily activities, and the counselors. We wanted an inclusion camp, where our son could socially engage with others. Caring Strategies will definitely be our summer camp home!"
