Center For Active Minds

I really love when schools allow us the opportunity to collaborate with them!!

At the Center for Active Minds, we are in a unique position to be able to provide certain services at school, including classroom observations, teacher-based interventions, presentations to teachers, and presentations to students.

And we love providing this service because teachers are able to impact kids’ lives every day. Research shows that providing services at the point of performance leads to better outcomes and more change (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_tpB-B8BXk0&pp=ygUfYmFya2xleSBhZGhkIHNob3cgd2hhdCB5b3Uga25vdw%3D%3D).

Happy Friday!

It’s Autism Awareness Month 💙

We at the Center for Active Minds are honored to play a role in the larger community of resources for families of children and teens with Autism. We currently provide comprehensive Autism evaluations for toddlers, chosen, teens, and young adults.

Let’s continue to learn, listen, and advocate together.

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

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.
