Overview

This book provides clinicians with a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-informed curriculum specifically designed for neurodiverse children and teens with co-occurring anxiety disorders. Research has shown that neurodivergent individuals respond better to mental health interventions when they are adapted to their unique needs. The concepts and strategies in this book, guided by CBT principles, address these needs and provide clinicians with an affirming and supportive approach to treatment with neurodiverse clients. The visually engaging templates throughout help clients recognize and communicate their feelings with others, allowing them to self-regulate and feel their emotions, leading to a sense of achievement during treatment. A must-have resource on the bookshelf of any psychologist, social worker, counselor, and other professionals working with neurodivergent children and teens.
