 Behavior Therapies

​

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is usually recommended for children with milder symptoms of autism and other children with some behavior concerns.

 

Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to define the triggers of particular behaviors, so that a child starts to recognize those moments himself. Through practice, a therapist introduces practical responses. In other words, kids learn to see when they are about to head down a habitual behavioral or mental path (“I always have melt downs in public”) and to practice something different instead (“I’m going to do that relaxation exercise I was taught”).

 

CBT helps with concerns common to autism, such as being overly fearful or anxious.
