Summary
This online article provides a brief summary of a research study that investigated the Coping Cat program, a manualized cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program for children. CBT is based on the idea that individuals can, with assistance, change their behavior or patterns of thinking. The results of the study suggest that the program can be effective in reducing the anxiety of children on the autism spectrum.

The Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment and Care Research group, based out of York University, writes summaries of research studies on autism and developmental disabilities to inform parents, individuals with autism, practitioners, and the general public on recent findings about autism.
