Talisman Programs offer summer camps and a semester and long term academic academy for young people (ages 8 to 21) who have learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome, and high-functioning autism.
Accredited by the American Camp Association, Talisman has been offering unique summer camp experiences full of fun, adventure, and exciting educational opportunities for special-needs youth since 1980.
In addition to our unique and innovative ADHD summer campopportunities, we also offer semester-length and long term academic programs. Our specialized schools are geared to help students ages 12 - 20 who have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, high-functioning autism, NLD, and similar disorders.
A personal relationship. With our limited enrollment Talisman is able to maintain close personal contact with families from the admissions process throughout the summer and into the school year. Campers develop meaningful bonds with their counselors, and parents are kept informed by weekly phone contact and written summaries at the end of the summer. Many campers build on those relationships by returning year after year, strengthening our community as they continue to grow and benefit from it.
