Cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorders: a randomized, controlled trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates a modular cognitive behavioral therapy program adapted for children aged 7-11 with autism spectrum disorders and comorbid anxiety. The study compares outcomes between participants receiving 16 sessions of CBT and those on a waitlist, utilizing blind evaluators and parent-child reports. Results indicate that the CBT group showed significantly higher rates of positive treatment response and diagnostic improvement compared to the waitlist group, with gains maintained at follow-up.
