EnTech Technology Camps

enTech at Spalding University
enTech (enabling Technologies) is associated with the Auerbach School of Occupational Therapy at Spalding University.  Their vision is to promote and foster independence and the potential of all persons by providing creative technology solutions.

Founded five years ago, enTECH works with independent organizations to provide direct technology-based intervention services or technology consultation to organizations that provide direct services to children. The technology-based services include augmentive communication, switches, and adaptive seating along with other options.

They also offer a technology-based activity program for children ages 3-12 called KITE (Kosiar Integrated Technology Experience).  It’s a technology-based activity program designed to provide physical, cognitive and sensory experiences.  The children rotate through different stations such as computer experience, arts & crafts, group games and sensory and motor experiences.  Each participant is paired with a KITE buddy.

The weeklong sessions are $65.  Children ages 3-6 attend from 9:00am-noon and 7-12 year olds attend from 1:00pm - 4:00pm.  Camps are held the following weeks:
April 4-8 (JCPS Spring Break week)
June 13-17
June 27-July1
July 11-15

You can access the registration forms online at: www.spalding.edu At the top of the page, click Academics, then enTech will show up on the left side of the page.

For more information, contact Mary Kaye Steinmetz at msteinmetz@spalding.edu or by phone at 502-585-9911 ext 2012

The camps fill up VERY quickly so if you’re interested, I’d inquire immediately.
