The NYU Summer Program for Kids is a unique and innovative therapeutic summer day program geared specifically to meet the needs of 7-11 year old youngsters with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. The NYU Summer Program for Kids, located at Riverdale Country School, is an 8-week, all day therapeutic camp utilizing state of the art treatment approaches that facilitate children’s improvement in many aspects of life. The key to the program’s success lies in its commitment to and understanding of the unique problems children with ADHD face. Children are helped to improve their social behavior, friendship skills, problem solving skills, academic competence, sports competence, classroom and home behavior, and anger control. These goals are achieved through the child’s participation in the full sports program, arts and crafts, academic enrichment/remediation, computer assisted learning and social skills training. Weekly specialized parent training helps to improve parent child relations. Their excellent staff to child ratio of one to every one to two children, enables the NYU Summer Program to make the summer a productive and fun experience for each child. Counselors are psychology undergraduate/graduate students who are supervised by clinical psychologists. Licensed teachers conduct the academic learning centers. The NYU Summer Program is directed by Howard Abikoff, Ph.D., a nationally renowned ADHD expert, and Director of the Institute for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity and Related Disorders at the NYU Child Study Center. Enrollment is limited.
