The NYU Summer Program for Kids is a seven-week, evidence-based, therapeutic day program geared specifically to meet the needs of 7-11-year-old youngsters with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and behavior disorders. It is a premier program attracting families from across the country and around the world. Children are helped to improve social behavior, friendship skills, coping skills, academic competence, problem-solving skills, self-esteem, classroom behavior, sports competence, rule following and home behavior. A typical day includes academic review, computer-assisted learning, art, morning and afternoon team sports, and daily swimming. Weekly specialized parent training helps to improve parent-child relations. The excellent staff-to-child ratio of 1 to 1.5 children enables the NYU Summer Program to make the summer a productive and fun experience for each child. The program is directed by nationally recognized clinicians that are leading experts in their field. Counselors are undergraduate and graduate students who are supervised by the clinical staff. Highly qualified teachers conduct the academic learning centers. The program is directed by Karen Fleiss, Psy. D., Assistant Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry NYU Child Study Center and Clinical Director, Long Island Campus. There is limited enrollment.
