Aside from trips with his mother and two younger siblings to ride bikes or visit nearby parks, he stayed home, nearly isolated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the school year neared its end in 2016, his mother Dorothy Miller worried that Batiz, who struggles to socialize and doesn\u2019t like sports, would spend another summer in the house. Batiz was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as a child, and later diagnosed in 2018 with \u201chigh-functioning\u201d autism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miller shared her concerns with one of Batiz\u2019s therapists, and mentioned that she could not afford camp. Immediately, the therapist mentioned a grant offered through the city\u2019s Department of Behavioral Health that provides money for children with behavioral health challenges to attend camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the years since, Batiz, now 15, has flourished at the Northeast Family YMCA\u2019s day camp on Knights Road. And it\u2019s all thanks to the Madeline Moore summer camp grant, Miller said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the entire article:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/education\/department-behavioral-health-madeline-moore-grant-summer-camp-20190717.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">City program makes camp a possibility for youth with behavioral health challenges<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philadelphia Inquirer&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;July 17, 2019 Before 2016, Miguel Batiz spent countless summer days in his Holmesburg bedroom, using the computer, playing video games, and eating.
