Pivotal Response Training for Autism

PRT is a naturalistic form of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) that parents can learn to use with their child during natural interations and daily family routines. Click here for more information on how to enroll for the 10-week training group.

 

 

 

Anxiety Parent Group

This 10-week group program is for parents of children with anxiety disorders, such as Separation Anxiety, Social Phobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Specific Phobias. Parents learn how to prompt their child to manage their anxiety more effectively. They learn the thinking patterns typically seen in anxiety and how to identify a "worry thought." Group members then practice ways of teaching their children to restructure their thoughts to be more realistic, and develop a program for their child to practice facing and coping with the situations that they have been afraid of.
