Child Registration and Enrollment Information
Eligibility
Children ages 6 to 12 are eligible to participate in the program. Enrollment is limited, and participants are selected based on an evaluation conducted by program staff. Psychological tests required for admission are performed by program staff, but recent testing from other sources may be acceptable in some cases. Children with ADHD, oppositional disorders, aggression, learning problems, or children with mixed behavior and learning problems are evaluated. Referrals can be made by school personnel, mental health professionals, physicians, or parents. Those children who meet certain criteria are offered admission.
Fees
Fees for the Summer Treatment Program are established in recognition of the cost of offering such a service. Health insurance plans may cover portions of the cost of this program; however, payment levels vary depending on the specific provisions of respective plans.
