Resilience Camp is an intensive outpatient program designed to help children with SM learn resilience and gain confidence in their speaking abilities. The program is designed to simulate a classroom setting with small groups of peers. The children attend the day camp and are gradually exposed to typical situations (ordering food at a restaurant, asking/answering questions in a group, playing games with peers etc.) in a safe and supportive environment that rewards them for their brave words and hard work. Each child is paired up with a trained brave-talking mentor. Parents receive education and support about how they can best help their child move forward. Research has shown that these types of programs are effective in helping children with SM increase their speech overall and then generalize these skills in other settings.
