Cincinnati Children’s Hospital invites undergraduate students to apply to be primary counselors for the 2018 ADHD Summer Treatment Program (STP). The STP is an evidence-based, therapeutic program devoted exclusively to 8-12 year old children with ADHD who are placed in groups of 10-12 children and supervised by 5-6 counselors. Counselors receive extensive clinical training and intervention skills in helping children with behavioral, social, and academic difficulties.
Primary Counselors are typically undergraduate students majoring in psychology, social work, education, or related fields. Counselors implement the treatment program with their group of 10-15 children as well as serve as a primary counselor for 1-3 children within their group. Counselors implement the behavior modification interventions during activities and also conduct sports skills training, social skills training, and problem solving training. During classroom sessions, counselors plan activities, design and revise individualized programs and targets for children’s daily report cards, and meet individually or as a group for supervision. Counselors receive extensive clinical training and intervention skills in helping children with behavioral, social, and academic difficulties.
Summer housing information for counselors is available. Please e-mail Caitlyn Clark (ADHDSTP@cchmc.org) with any questions.
