Based on 20+ years of experience treating Selective Mutism using Social Communication Anxiety Treatment® (S-CAT®)\, the evidence-based treatment approach created by world-renowned Selective Mutism expert\, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum\, we will help your child\, tween\, or teen build the social communication skills necessary for school\, the real world\, and at home. \n  \nClick here to let us know you’re interested!\n  \nThe CommuniCamp™ Mission is two-fold: 1) treatment in small\, peer-groups in a school for children and teens and 2) parent education\, training\, and support seminars: \nIntensive Group Treatment: \nOver the course of a three-day weekend (5 hours/day\, 15 hours total)\, our professionally trained counselors\, under the direction of our lead clinicians\, work directly with two-to-three campers on social comfort and confidence to instill social confidence\, increase communication\, and facilitate the learning of coping skills using S-CAT® based strategies using each camper’s individual baseline for social communication. Through these strategies and by removing the expectation for speech and respecting each camper’s baseline\, our campers see and hear themselves communicating confidently in a peer-group school setting which translates to their school environment when they get home. \nParent Training\, Education\, and Support Seminars: \nWhile campers undergo treatment\, we simultaneously provide 15 hours of intensive parent education\, training\, and breakout support sessions so parents can immerse themselves in the world of Selective Mutism and learn strategies\, ask questions\, share stories\, receive support\, and feel confident implementing the goals\, strategies\, and interventions the entire family learned at CommuniCamp™\, at home. \nCommuniCamp™ has been rated as “excellent\,” “life-changing\,” and highly recommended by parents! \nWHEN IS IT? \n\nFriday\, July 14\, 2023: 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM EST (Welcome Orientation)\nSaturday\, July 15\, 2023: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST (Day One\, Child and Parent Sessions)\nSunday\, July 16\, 2023: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST (Day Two\, Child and Parent Sessions)\nMonday\, July 17\, 2023: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST (Day Three\, Child and Parent Sessions)\n\nThe SMart Center’s CommuniCamp™ Program is held multiple times over the course of the year.
