Facing Your Fears: Group Therapy for Managing Anxiety in Children with High-Functioning Autism

| Event Date and Time: |

8am – 4pm |

SFU Woodward Campus
|
| Meeting Location Address: |
149 West Hastings Street,
Vancouver, BC, V6B 1G8 |
| Event Description: |
Presented by: Judy Reaven Ph.D. Children with high-functioning ASD are at higher risk for developing psychiatric symptoms, particularly anxiety which can interfere significantly with the child’s ability to participate in home, school, and community activities. Research has demonstrated that cognitive-behavioral treatments (CBT) are very successful with typical children and adolescents with anxiety symptoms. Dr. Reaven and her collaborators have taken this approach and adapted it to the needs of children with high-functioning autism, providing a manual that can be used by clinicians working collaboratively with parents (Facing Your Fears: Group Therapy for Managing Anxiety in Children with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders).
