Island Autism is a private Instructional Care Camp specifically for people with Autism
and Autism related disorders. We are structured around movement and vestibular
stimulation. Our programming is not right for all people and we reserve the right to
decline admission to anyone who we feel will not benefit or who does not meet our
entrance criteria.
The Admissions Committee reviews and determines admission.
