It runs in August so that the therapy occurs right before the start of the new school year\, increasing treatment carryover into your child’s school. Adventure Camp runs from 9am – 3pm for five days (Monday – Friday)\, providing 30 hours of intensive exposure therapy\, as well as five hours of parent guidance\, for a total of 35 hours of therapy in one week\, expediting treatment. In the simulated classroom\, your child has the opportunity to practice their communication goals. Each child is assigned to a counselor (1:1 ratio) and the counselor applies evidence-based therapeutic strategies to reduce anxious-avoidance mutism and increase verbal communication. For younger children\, the simulation includes morning circle time\, free play\, snack\, and typical structured and non-structured activities experienced in the early childhood classrooms. For older children\, the simulation includes morning assembly\, non-structured and structured group work\, structured class activity\, and therapeutic role plays to practice classroom presentation as well as social interaction. Both age groups experience lunch\, recess\, in-classroom visitors\, field trips\, and bus rides. All counselors have received training under the direct supervision of SM specialist Dr. Carmen Lynas.Registration Link: https://www.advancedtherapeuticsolutions.org/adventure-camps/camp-registration/Adventure Camp Details: https://www.advancedtherapeuticsolutions.org/adventure-camps/selective-mutism-adventure-camp-intensive-treatment/\n\n\n\nContact Person: For any questions\, please contact: Kelsie Hoshell\, M.S.\, Intake Coordinator\, 630-230-6505\, Kelsie@advancedtherapeuticsolutions.org

SUMMARY:Child Mind Institute Brave Buddies Program
DESCRIPTION:Location: New York City\, exact location TBD \n\n\n\nAges: 3-12 \n\n\n\nDescription: Brave Buddies® is an intensive group behavioral treatment program designed to help children 3-12 years old with selective mutism (SM) speak in school and other public places. We create a classroom-like setting that offers children a safe environment to practice verbal participation\, or what we call “brave talking.” In the classroom\, we provide ample speaking opportunities and we tailor speaking goals to the individual needs of the child\, to target things like presenting\, spontaneous speech\, larger group interactions and community exposures. Our counselors are highly trained in PCIT-SM\, which is the treatment we use to help with brave talking. Parent training is an integral part of Brave Buddies®. \n\n\n\nContact: See our website for more information: https://childmind.org/care/areas-of-expertise/anxiety-disorders-center/brave-buddies-program/ and contact BraveBuddies@childmind.org for questions and information about next steps.
