Funbusters for special kids IF YOUR CHILD has learn- ing disabilities you will be in- terested in the Vancouver Association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities’ (VACLD) sum- mer socialization program, ‘“*‘Summer Funbusters.”’ The program, for children ages seven to 13, is intended to develop positive attitudes and feelings of success and confidence, while teaching the children important com- munications skills. Group participation and cooperation will be em- phasized through a variety of fun and interesting activities including drama, hiking, swimming, cooking, and Outings to such places as the Arts, Sciences and Technology Centre and the Vancouver Whitecaps Soccer Clinic. Parents can be confident that their child is receiving good supervision. Each supervisor is a student in recreation or special educa- tion and most of them have had direct experience work- ing with learning disabled children. In addition, the staff/student ratio is one to four. The children will meet dai- ly from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Thunderbird Neighborhood Centre, 2311 Cassiar Street, Vancouver. The sessions are one week long and cost only one dollar per session. Children are en- couraged to participate in more than one session. ~Learning disabled children require a very struc- tured environment and, therefore, our program is valuable during the-summer months when the child is out of school,’’ says Mary Battle, project manager. ‘‘Ideally, learning disabled children should be able to participate in a fun program such as ‘Funbusters’ for the whole summer.’ For further information, call VACLD at 733-2321.
