• In Event: DELT- Game-Based Learning, Mobile Learning, and Informal Learning Contexts

Short Description

We examined the literature for summer camp designs for children with ASD and created a framework to identify the key elements and dimensions to be considered when designing summer camps. Nineteen summer camp-related studies were evaluated with the finalized rubric. Results revealed that summer camps can be effective for retaining the existing skills and improving the new skills during the summer months. Summer camps are mainly built around social interactions and recreational activities.
