Treatment includes individual counseling time, group sessions, games, and relationship-building skills.

The Civitan International Research Center Summer Treatment Program is for children ages six through twelve that focuses on treating behavioral issues that could affect the children's ability to learn in an educational environment. Such afflictions include ADHD, chemical depression, bipolar disorder, or Asperger's syndrome. All children must go through a pre-camp interview process before they are admitted into the program so officials are best able to determine whether or not the child is a correct fit. The center is located in Birmingham, AL and runs from late June to early July.
The Cleveland Clinic's Children Hospital Summer Treatment Program is in South Euclid, Ohio and funded by Notre Dame College. The program is geared towards children ages six through eleven and runs from June to July. Children are assigned to groups of 10 to 12 other children, often suffering from the same behavioral or emotional conditions, so they can build off of one another. Children spend about two hours in a classroom setting, learning how to cope with their afflictions, and another hour in a study-hall environment to teach the children proper study skills.
