Summer Treatment Program for Children with ADHD
End of Year To Do List
As we wind down the year, here’s a few reminders from the health services:
If your child is on a health plan of any kind, you should have received a copy of your child’s plan. Please review them ASAP and send back to your child’s building for revision
If your child has medication of any kind at school, make sure to pick these up by the last day of school otherwise they will be disposed of. Look for reminders in May.
Over the summer, check in with your child’s doctor (better yet, get a physical if able to!) and find out what immunizations they may need. Many middle and high school students need vaccinations also. The Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines are both required for students entering 7th grade. The meningococcal vaccine is due for students entering 11th grade. Provide documentation of immunizations to the health clinics through the summer and when school starts.

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital offers an award winning Summer Treatment Program (STP) for children 6-12 with ADHD and related difficulties with be held at Loveland Early Childhood (LECC) for the summer fo The STP incorporated evidence-based treatments into a 7-week therapeutic camp-like summer program. Participants enjoy the recreation of team sports and swimming while learning rules and building athletic skills. Children experience creativity through arts and crafts and attend the Academic Learning Center each day. During each activity (including transitions, lunch, and social situations), children receive direct clinical intervention with a 2 to 1 child-to-staff ratio, as well as two on-site licensed clinical psychologists. 90 minute parent group sessions are offered once a week throughout the program to help parents learn effective behavior management techniques to improve compliance and promote their child’s ability to more independently complete age-appropriate tasks at home and school.

As we look to the next year, we are in need of substitute health aides on an as needed basis in the clinics. You must be a RN or LPN, currently licensed. As a sub, you are always backed up by the District Nurse who will respond to any of your questions, concerns or emergencies. Training is provided and we’re great to work with!
