Скачать или смотреть Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for Families Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder

"This webinar will provide an overview of two programs offered to families living with autism, at Aisling Discoveries Child and Family Centre, located in Toronto, Ontario.

An introduction to cognitive behavior therapy and positive psychology will be provided, along with the concept of cognitive distortions and their effect on how we think.

Following this, the Positive Adult Development curriculum for parents will be presented. This is a program that was created at the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center For Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, to help parents of individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities manage stress, using evidenced-based interventions from the field of positive psychology.

The second program presented will be Facing Your Fears, a program based on more than 13 years of funded research at the University of Colorado, School of Medicine, and using cognitive behavioral principles to assist children and youth with high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder who need assistance managing anxiety symptoms that interfere with daily life. A well-developed parent education component is included in this program, allowing for the generalization of concepts and strategies learned to be implemented at home.

Both of these programs focus on the family as a whole and ensuring there is support for both parent wellness and a co-ordinated approach to treatment that will allow skills taught to transfer to the home and community. "
