- Location: Oak Brook, IL
- Ages/Target Audience: Educators & Professionals who treat/work with children who have selective mutism
- Description: Adventure Camp uses PCIT-SM and includes application of behavioral intervention and exposure therapy. In this 5-day, 30-hr intensive treatment (6 hrs/day), each camper is paired with a counselor who guides their camper through the exposure tasks scheduled for that day. ATSA runs the camp in a school, where school activities are simulated, including roll call, morning meeting, snack, recess, lunch, show and tell, riding the bus, etc., In addition, the children go on field trips to generalize verbal behaviors in the community. These successive exposure tasks, delivered during the 9am-3pm schedule like a typical school day, and provided a week or two before the end of summer break, provides an ideal analog for preparing the kids when their actual school resumes in the fall. If you are a teacher, paraprofessional, school social worker, or other school-based provider, you can benefit from this training. If you are a therapist of any level (including graduate students), a teacher, school SW, psychologist, psychiatrist, SLP, OT, or other professional who may encounter a child with SM in their work, you can benefit from this training.
