Research Programs

Our goal is to design, evaluate, and implement model programs for at-risk children and their families.

Most people know our work through The Hope Connection, which is a summer day camp for children with special social-emotional needs. We have offered this summer camp experience in a variety of versions, from summer of 1999 through summer of 2003. Although we were able in most cases to have a positive impact on the campers, we too often found that summer gains were soon lost.

Over the past two years we have been developing the residential weekend family camps and intensive home programs, so that our interventions can have a lasting impact on the adoptive family.

The TCU Institute of Child Development is not a clinic or service agency; we only provide services in the context of research and program development.

If you are interested in any of our programs you can email us at child@tcu.edu - please be aware that there are a limited number of spaces available and we have a waiting list.
