Dr. Jodie Knott, PhD
Director | Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Jodie Knott is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in psychological assessments for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, mood disorders as well as child and family therapy.
Quest’s Therapeutic Model was found to substantially reduce inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and aggression.
Interventions also showed gains in peer and family relationships, as well as competence in athletics and behavioral control.
What We Do
Quest Camps, located in Orange County, CA, offers an innovative, evidence-based therapeutic program that has been found to reduce problems not only at camp but at home, school and in everyday life for children 6 to 18 years old with mild to moderate social, emotional and/or behavioral difficulties.
We are a Special Needs Camp that provides treatment for a variety of difficulties that children have including ADHD, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, learning disabilities and high functioning autism (previously Asperger’s Disorder).
Children who have severe aggressiveness, serious psychological problems, behavioral disorders or severe family problems are not appropriate for the program.
