Description:

The STP is a comprehensive intensive 8-week treatment program for children's and teens' behavioral, emotional, and learning problems. Designed for children and teens with ADHD and related problems, this program incorporates a set of evidence-based treatments into a therapeutic summer day camp. Parents participate in weekly parent training sessions. Children who participate in the STP will have the opportunity to enroll in a medication research study as well and receive free medication and evaluations.

Summer Camp: June 15 - July 31, 2026

Will be held at Paul Bell Middle School, 11800 NW 2nd Street, Miami FL, 33182

Research Study:
Stimulant medications (Concerta, Focalin, Adderall, Vyvanse, etc.) are the most commonly prescribed treatment for children with ADHD with many children taking them daily. However, these medications can stop working as well over time, called "tolerance". The research aims to see if tolerance happens over a short period of time during the summer, and see if taking short (weekend) breaks from medication helps to keep the medication working over time.
