| description | This article reports on a multi-method impact evaluation of a therapeutic summer camp program for children & youth with learning disabilities & related psychosocial problems. The study examines the degree to which program objectives were achieved through a pre-camp, post-camp, follow-up design using a series of standardized instruments, camp evaluations, & interviews with parents. The results indicate that the campers reported less social isolation, experienced modest improvements in self-esteem, & expressed high levels of satisfaction with the camp. The measures for social skills generally failed to register significant changes, although parents reported improvements in the areas of cooperation, responsibility, & self-control. 4 Tables, 20 References.
