Anxiety is one of the biggest challenges faced by children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders and Asperger syndrome. Help them conquer their fears—and participate more fully in home, school, and community life—with this innovative group therapy program.
Developed to address the speci�c needs and challenges of children with high-functioning ASD and Asperger syndrome, Facing Your Fears works because it targets speci�c fears or worries that interfere with day-to-day functioning at home and school, actively involves parents in every session, is backed by more than 7 years of funded research, engages children with memorable, age-appropriate strategies for defeating anxiety, gives children repeated opportunities to practice their social interactions with others, uses the highly e�ective principles of cognitive behavioral therapy and helps children and parents generalize the skills they learn in group to other settings.
This innovative program will help families struggling with the burdens of anxiety and increase children's odds for lifelong academic and social success.
