SUMMARY:Adventure Camp Intensive Treatment for Selective Mutism for Ages 4 to 13 in Chicago\, IL Suburbs of Oak Brook
DESCRIPTION:Contact Person: Dr. Carmen Lynas\, DrLynas@advancedtherapeuticsolutions.org \n\n\n\nTo register for camp: https://www.AdvancedTherapeuticSolutions.org/CampRegistration \n\n\n\nTo speak with our Intake Coordinator: Call 630-230-6505 or email Intake@AdvancedTherapeuticSolutions.org \n\n\n\nFor more information\, visit: https://www.advancedtherapeuticsolutions.org/selectivemutism \n\n\n\nJuly 7 – 23\, 2026: Lead-ins booked during this time frameCamp Week: 7/27/2026 – 7/31/2026Parent Training 7/25/2026 9:30 am – 12 pm and 7/27/2026 – 7/30/2026 12 pm-1 pm and 7/31/2026 1 pm – 2 pm \n\n\n\nAdventure Camp (AC) provides 30 hrs (6 hrs per day for 5 days) of direct exposure therapy informed by Kurtz’s PCIT-SM model to shape nonverbal responding into verbal responding. AC focuses heavily on verbalizing in the school setting and generalizing across school staff. Parents are provided with parent training separately in order to maximize the time we have with the students in the school setting\, verbally responding to staff without relying on their parents’ presence. This increases the child’s confidence in themselves and less dependence on their parents. Campers’ educators are encouraged to attend the Parent & Teacher Training that occurs on 7/25/2026 (and which is recorded for those who can’t attend) so that the child’s home and school environment can learn the PCIT-SM prompting skills and learn how to reduce enabling in an effective way to maximize treatment carry over into the school setting. Parent training also takes place during camp week on 7/27/2026-7/30/2026 from 12pm-1pm and on 7/31/2026 1pm-2pm. These sessions are also recorded for parents who are unable to attend. The child’s teacher\, school social worker\, speech pathologist\, or anyone else from the child’s team is invited to come observe the skills in action during camp week to help facilitate their learning. We send all parents a form that they can share with their child’s school team to sign up to observe. Treating the child is not enough – we aim to train parents and educators\, too. \n\n\n\nWe rent out an actual school and use actual classrooms for this school simulation\, and the experience is further enhanced by other camps occurring in the same school\, which really maximizes the opportunity to generalize speaking across adults\, peers\, places\, and activities. \n\n\n\nIn the afternoons\, we load a school bus to field trip events which exposes children to talking to the bus driver\, to community members at our field trips\, and to community peers\, providing opportunities for generalizing speaking outside the school setting as well. Peer-to-peer interaction and social skills are also addressed in the field trip activities. \n\n\n\nTreating the child alone is not enough; treating the child’s ecosystem maximizes treatment effect. Therefore\, we are known for our success in providing 30 hours of direct therapy to the campers\, 8 hours of parent training during camp week\, and our collaboration with the campers’ school teams before\, during\, and after camp to ensure carry over into school.

SUMMARY:Weekly Virtual SM / Social Anxiety Group for Ages 9 to 12 in NY\, NJ\, and CT
DESCRIPTION:Anxiety can keep kids stuck — quiet in class\, hesitant in groups\, or quick to withdraw from situations that feel uncertain. This once-weekly\, 90-minute virtual group helps pre-teens (ages 9 to 12) break that cycle. \n\n\n\nThrough engaging\, age-appropriate activities that mirror real-world challenges — like participating in classroom discussions\, joining group conversations\, and collaborating on shared tasks — kids learn to manage anxious thoughts\, challenge self-doubt\, and lean into social experiences. Each session offers practical tools\, peer connection\, and hands-on coaching in a safe and supportive space. As they take small\, intentional steps forward\, pre-teens build the confidence to speak up\, join in\, and engage more freely in everyday life\, without letting anxiety call the shots. \n\n\n\nVisit squareonenyc.com to learn more! \n\n\n\nFee: $200 per session
