Find the Right Summer Camp for Your Child
Your library's Guide to Summer Camps looks like a thick little phone book with thousands of listings. An Internet search engine has 22,000 camps in its data base. How do you choose a camp - when every description sounds wonderful, every camp brochure is fantastic, and every website looks like a gorgeous work of wilderness art?
The best way to choose a camp is to first determine what you and your child want from the camping experience and then go from there. If your child wants a classic camp experience with swimming, hiking and S'mores, then you want a general camp. If your child has an interest in a certain sport or wants a certain kind of wilderness experience like backpacking, or if your child has interest in particular field like drama, then you may want to look at a specialty camp.

Video Games for Kids with Asperger's: Social Networking Tool or Dangerous Fixation?
Video games are becoming an increasingly common interest among young people with Asperger's. Although the virtual world and games like "Second Life" can be a great place for kids to practice social skills, make friends, and have fun, some experts are concerned that an intense interest in video games can quickly become an unhealthy and even dangerous obsession. However, video games, in and of themselves, are not necessarily negative influences in the lives of young Aspies. In fact, some researchers believe they can be an educational and entertaining way to build personal relationships and experiment with taking social risks and reaching out to unfamiliar people.
