Скачать или смотреть Autism and anxiety in the classroom: going beyond the checklists

Anxiety disorders are now recognised as the most commonly co-occurring conditions within autism spectrum disorders, with prevalence rates of clinically significant anxiety being 3-4 times higher in children with autism than children without autism. It is known that anxiety can impact on school engagement and academic performance for the non-autistic population but research exploring anxiety and autism in the school context has to date, been very limited. With funding from Griffith University as well as the Department of Education and Training Educational Horizons grant scheme, Dr Dawn Adams and Prof. Deb Keen are leading a program of research focussing upon anxiety and well-being in autism and how this may be identified within school settings.
