Summer camp can be a lifeline — structure for your child, a break for you, and a chance to build skills and friendships. There aren't many autism-specific camps in Irving proper, but the surrounding metroplex has strong options, from sensory-friendly day camps to overnight programs. Here's how to find one that fits.
