The Center for Children and Families at Florida International University announces Summer Treatment Program Lead Counselor internship positions for 2015. The Summer Treatment Program (STP) provides services to children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, learning problems, and related behavior problems. The program provides treatment tailored to children's individual behavioral and learning difficulties. Lead Counselors will work in one of three related programs: STP-PreK, for children in preschool or entering Kindergarten; STP-E, for children ages 6-12 in elementary school; or STP-A, for adolescents in middle school and high school. The Center for Children and Families is directed by William E. Pelham, Jr., Ph.D., who is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at Florida International University. Paulo Graziano, Ph.D., and Katie Hart, Ph.D., are the Program Directors for the STP-PreK, Erika Coles, Ph.D., is the Program Director for the STP-E, and Margaret Sibley, Ph.D., is the Program Director for the STP-A.

The dates of employment for the Lead Counselor position are Monday, June 1, 2015 through Friday, August 14, 2015. Lead Counselor hours of employment are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and on Saturday, August 8. In addition, Lead Counselors will participate in a parent training group that meets one evening weekly until 8:30 PM. Many Lead Counselors work additional hours on other evenings and on weekends finishing tasks and attending meetings.

Lead Counselors are paid a salary of $6,000 for the summer. In addition, practicum credits for current students can often be arranged on an individual basis through the student's own program.
