Question about Neverland Club and other Kid Clubs

[alizesmom]

Just curious: what certain needs are they not set up for?

My DH used the Neverland Club when he was 6 last year. He has Asperger's syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. We had no problems at all with the club, although he didn't really need any special treatment other than to be left alone and not forced into activities if he didn't want to participate. I will say that the person who staffed the Club that night was a retired schoolteacher, knew all about Asperger's, and was very helpful and informative. We sent him to the Club with a book. His younger brother, 4, had a great time playing with the kid and participating in the activities. My older son had a fine time; he mostly read his book and watched the movie.

We were thinking of doing the Cubs Den at WL this time, but I'm considering using KNO now after mistysue's rave review. What will the KNO sitters do with your kids? Are they just hanging out in the room that whole time?

They wouldn't handle Trachs, feeding tubes, older kids who aren't continent etc

KNO will show up with a suitcase full of "age appropriate toys." You could probably request certain types of things as well. They pretty much do just sit around your hotel room but usually kids find that pretty exciting after all the running around.


Since it came up, the sandcastle club did make special food for my son who is allergic to wheat, soy, egg, dairy, shrimp, peanuts, treenuts, sesame and buckwheat. They said it is prepared by chefs in Cape May so they would do it. I don't know where other clubs make food, so it probably varies dramatically by club.

Suitcase is overstating it a bit. Usually a large tote.
