The local summer camp for kids with ADHD is now open for registration!

Through grant-sponsorship, the Penn State Hershey Medical Center offers an evidence-based treatment opportunity for children ages 7-11 with ADHD. The summer camp offers a behavioral treatment program that is implemented within a sports camp setting. Here's some information about this year's program:

-Takes place in Etown
-Program runs June 8 - July 17
-Drop off and pick up times are 8:30/9am and 4/4:30pm
-Program is FREE due to grant sponsorship

As a counselor of the Summer Treatment Program for many years, I've seen firsthand how this program can set the stage for children with ADHD to show what they know and be successful.

To all of you sports parents, we see the invisible labor you do. Coordinating rides to practices, handling last minute changes to practices or games, being more mindful about dinners, and even handling meltdowns before bedtime because bedtime routines have been shifted. You’re MVPs in our book.

Valentine's Day makes us think about how we can invest in ourselves.

Research shows us that connection, movement, and contributing meaningfully are small things that we can do to increase our feelings of happiness.

Wednesday is a great time to evaluate - which of these can you be doing for the rest of this week?

We’ve seen a growing need for autism evaluations in our community—and limited local access.

In response, we’ve expanded our evaluation services to include evidence-based, comprehensive autism evaluations through collaboration with a specially-trained psychologist.

Our goal is simple: reduce wait times, improve access, and provide evaluations that actually reflect real-life functioning and important next steps.

Schedule your screening call on our website to initiate the evaluation process, by using the QR code attached!

We've been working on our website's Evaluation page! www.CenterForActiveMinds.com/Evaluations

We're getting a high number of calls for evaluations, and wanted to update the information about our services. We respect your time, and appreciate those who are researching their options.

We've added Adult ADHD evaluations to what we offer! Our evaluations are guided by current research and best practices, and our training in adult ADHD evaluations is no different.

We anticipate more changes to our evaluations page soon....!

We don't need a special day to thank teachers!

At CFAM, we see the impacts a great teacher has on children's development. Whether it's frequently checking in with a child to see if they are OK, or challenging a child that can do more to do more, or looking past behaviors to assume good will so that child can develop their positive traits, you do so much more than teach Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic.

We support YOU.

Happy FID day, teachers & parents!

I was so excited to see that my kid had a writing prompt that fits exactly what we do in therapy services with kids. The prompt asked about INTERNAL character traits, what to look for in a friend, and what can they DO to show those traits.

This gave me an opportunity to continue conversations with my kid about what internal traits kids can have, and what behaviors kids do to demonstrate those traits.

In therapy, I find that often kids with show behaviors that are not consistent with their internal traits, and help them engage in behaviors consistent with their traits (even if it feels scary!) helps them feel seen and heard.

Continuing to add to this exercise! I really like this idea of a -- When you're out somewhere, focus on taking 9 pictures of a specific color, and create a collage from them.

Why mindfulness works: mindfulness is a practice that forces your focus on a current activity. That can help decrease the spirals of past- or future-oriented thoughts that often lead to increase stress or worries or sadness.

How it doesn’t work: a mindfulness activity doesn’t work if it doesn’t require your focus and attention. If you don’t have to think about the mechanics of riding a bike, then you can still engage in thought spirals while riding a bike. Therefore, riding a bike would not be an effective mindfulness technique.

How it works: if the task that you’re doing requires purposeful focus, it could be a helpful mindfulness technique for you. It can be even more effective if what you’re engaged in requires just attending to what’s around you — like finding a specific color.
Because a color walk would direct your attention to a particular color, it can be a helpful mindfulness technique for some people! Try it out 🙂. Post images of your own color walk below!
