Weekend For Improving Social Effectiveness
The W.I.S.E. (Weekend for Improving Social Effectiveness) program is an intensive weekend targeted to enhance social skills in a difficult population. Held over a two-day period at a camp in Bucks County, we use a token economy and small social skills groups. As a counselor at the W.I.S.E. program, I'm responsible for supervising 4 campers who have a variety of Autism-spectrum and other behavioral disorders. These disorders included ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and childhood-onset Bipolar Disorder. This program is directed by Dr. Michael C. Selbst, associate director of Behavior Therapy Associates, P.A.
