In Leominster, Massachusetts, the Summit Academy School hosts an age-appropriate, therapeutic version of martial arts class for boys from 7 to 10 years old. Parents are getting up at 5 a.m. and driving almost an hour to get to this day camp because it helps children with Asperger's Syndrome, attention deficit disorders, and developmentally delayed disorders.
The school also offers tennis, arts and crafts, and an extended school year of math, science, and English. A school district actually paid for 6 students with disorders to attend this day camp also. The reason for the attendance is that the martial arts therapy helps the children get through the whole day. Many students have shown improvement in doing their assigned tasks.
Most of all, they are having a fun time.
