Presentation Abstract
Cognitive behavioral therapy is an emerging evidenced based practice for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, often to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other associated conditions. Typically, CBT is used exclusively in clinical settings such as individually with a psychologist. However, there are ways to take the principles of CBT and apply them to the home setting. The proposed presentation will help parents understand some of the behavioral and cognitive strategies that they can use at home to increase appropriate behavior, build positive routines, and help promote positive interactions and coping skills.
