| Anxiety Treatment Program for Children with Autism
Coming soon! Annie's Centre, in conjunction with Macquarie University and Aspect (Autism Spectrum Australia), will be publishing the FIRST, Anxiety Treatment Program for Children with High Functioning Autism and Asperger's! This publication will be the first of its kind both in Australia and internationally! The program is based on research that Dr Chalfant conducted and published internationally in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.
The program is designed for use by clinicians and therapists. You will be able to use the program for either individual support or group intervention programs with children. A comprehensive clinician's manual will be provided. Separate handbooks for children and parents will also be provided. The handbooks will include copies of handouts, homework tasks and related visual supports and materials.
The focus of the program is on children with Autism who have low support needs. However, components of the program can be easily adapted to those children who have high support needs or more moderate Autism. Please contact us to register you interest in accessing the programs or in accessing anxiety support for your child at our centre. | |
