Annual Autism Workshop: Assessing and Treating Anxiety and Related Problem Behaviors and in Autism Spectrum Disorder | Education
Dr. Lauren Moskowitz, Ph.D presents "Assessing and Treating Anxiety and Related Problem Behaviors and in Autism Spectrum Disorder."
Although there are numerous studies demonstrating the successful assessment and treatment of anxiety in neurotypical children, comparatively less is known about how to assess and treat anxiety in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), particularly those individuals with co-occurring intellectual disability. This presentation will discuss how anxiety presents within ASD, the functional assessment of anxiety in children with ASD, and how to treat anxiety in children with ASD. Interventions discussed will incorporate strategies from Positive Behavior Support (PBS), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Case examples of children both with and without intellectual disability will be presented.
