CBAP is a nonprofit organization that began in 1990 when a group of parents and professionals, under the direction of Special Education Instructor Brad Bafaro, met to address the needs of local students with disabilities during the summer months. Since 1990, this program has grown from 16 students to 140 (40% of whom are people with disabilities).
CBAP is committed to providing students with a high quality education and creating an enjoyable and positive learning environment during the summer months. CBAP programs are centered on the capacity of each student, and we maintain that the students' strengths will become a resource for our community if recognized and channeled properly. We plan both structured programs and recreational activities, always being sensitive to our students' individual needs.
Each session is 6 weeks long, and is open to students ages 5 to 18. The student-teacher ratio is low so we can provide much individual assistance. In addition to an academic program, we offer a comprehensive community based recreation program. The students work in small groups throughout the week to choose activities then to plan the execution of those activities.
Our staff works with students at their own level of development, guiding them through a course of individualized, small group and large group instruction.
The Board of Directors, the Program Planning Team, and Brad Bafaro (program director) lead the program. CBAP staff combines professional preparation and many years of experience in Elementary / Secondary Education and Special Education. Specialty areas include: Physical Therapy, Adapted Physical Education, Psychology, Recreation, Health Education and Speech and Hearing. CBAP also utilizes qualified teaching assistants and high school peer tutors.
