ADHD Summer Treatment Program Beginning on June 12 Now Accepting Applications
The Center for ADHD at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital again will be providing our evidence-based ADHD Summer Treatment Program (STP) for the 8th year. This program directly targets difficulties commonly experienced by children with ADHD in a camp-like setting. Children enjoy the recreation of team sports while learning rules and building athletic skills. They express creativity through arts and crafts and attend the Academic Learning Center each day. During each activity (including transitions, lunch, and social situations), children receive direct clinical intervention. Each group of 12-15 children will have 5-6 counselors and we have two onsite licensed clinical psychologists. Virtual parent group sessions (60 minutes) are offered once a week throughout the program to help parents learn effective behavioral techniques. We have been worked with physicians in the Division of Infectious Diseases to put safety protocols in place given the COVID-19 pandemic.
You can e-mail ADHDSTP@cchmc.org to start the eligibility process. We encourage you to view our website that has videos and additional information: www.cincinnatichildrens.org/STP. A flyer with additional information to share with your patients can be found HERE.

Currently, this program is not approved for health insurance coverage as a mental health expense. Health Saving/Flexible Spending Accounts may be eligible to be used. A payment plan is available. A $500 deposit will be due upon acceptance into the program to hold your child’s spot in the program and the remainder can be broken up into two payments of $2,000 due June 2 and July 7.
We do our best to make the program fun like summer camp, but it is intense treatment with a lot of support. The cost includes direct clinical intervention for more than 7 hours each day, plus enrollment in a weekly parent group to help families maintain gains made over the summer. We have a two to one child-to-staff ratio in the program and two onsite licensed clinical psychologists.
