A typical school day can be full of anxiety triggers for students with autism or other social/learning needs. Help autistic students face and manage their fears--and overcome a major obstacle to school success--with this CBT program designed for use with students ages 8–14.
The Facing Your Fears (FYF) program consists of twelve 40-minute sessions that help students with autism or related social/learning needs manage interfering anxiety symptoms. The program is flexible: it can be delivered before or after school or within the school day; in 40-minute weekly lessons or in more frequently occurring 20-minute lessons; and in small groups of 2–5 students or individually with a school psychologist or counselor, special education teacher, or other school provider. FYF is evidence-based, has been shown to reduce anxiety in students with autism, and is an ideal way to increase student access to critical mental health interventions in school.
