NEW THERAPY GROUP - youth ages 9-12 with high-functioning ASDs

The Fay J. Lindner Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities is excited to announce a
NEW THERAPY GROUP!

Is your child anxious?

Do lots of things scare your child?
Does your child have worries?
Does homework make your child feel stressed and overwhelmed?
  Are your child’s anxieties and fears preventing them from participating in activities?
Do changes make your child upset?

If any of those difficulties pertain to your child, then this may be the right group for them! This new group will combine visual and verbal techniques to teach coping skills and reduce anxiety over the course of 8 weeks. This group is suitable for:

youth ages 9-12 with high-functioning ASDs (average range verbal IQ) and some conversational skills

There will be some verbal demands in the group but the group will also utilize visual strengths.

The anxiety and coping skills group for children between ages 9-12 will be starting soon on Tuesdays from 5 to 6pm.
Please contact Samara-Pulver Tetenbaum at
(516) 802-8600 to sign up.
