Camper Profile

We do one thing and one thing only at Meadowood Springs: Help improve the communication skills of children with speech, hearing, and language disorders. Following is our camper profile—please review it to see if Meadowood Springs is right for you.

• Meadowood Springs campers have communication disorders. Communication disorders are defined in the broad sense to include the needs of the total child.
• We look for diagnosed clinical disorders of speech, hearing, or language as indicated by the referring professional.
• We give priority to:
  1. Children enrolled in therapy programs who are not progressing well in those programs.
  2. Children who need an intensive therapy program.
  3. Children who would benefit from the emotional support of a supervised peer-group living experience.
  4. Children who require situational therapy for carry-over.
  5. Children who can be away from the supervised family environment for a while.
  6. Children from schools which provide inadequate therapy services.
  7. Children in the age range of six to sixteen.

Because our space is limited and our goals are specific, Meadowood Springs does not cater to:

• Deaf children who need only academic/tutoring situations.
• Children with cleft palates who have not yet had an appliance or surgical procedure to modify their speech problems.
• Children with primary emotional behavior disorder (i.e., autistic schizophrenic children with secondary speech problems).
• Children without reasonable degrees of self-help skills and/or mobility to get around the camp terrain (hilly trails) with minimum assistance.
