ndltd-OhioLink-oai-etd.ohiolink.edu-kent1602001858075962021-08-03T07:16:22Z A systematic review and meta-analysis of cognitive behavioral therapy for children and adolescents with autism and anxiety Haupt, Rachel Psychology CBT cognitive behavioral therapy autism anxiety It is estimated that 1 in 59 children have autism (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018), representing one of the largest growing segments of individuals with disabilities (IDEA, 2004). Due in part to the deficits experienced by children and adolescents with autism, they are at a higher risk for developing anxiety (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Cognitive behavioral therapy is becoming a favorable intervention for children and adolescents with autism and anxiety, with multiple meta-analyses and systematic reviews demonstrating positive results for reducing anxiety among this population. Concerns have been raised regarding the methodological rigor of the empirical studies (Danial & Wood, 2013; Lang et al., 2010; NAC, 2015; Tait, 2013; Ung, Selles, Small, & Storch, 2015; Wong et al., 2013). Subsequently, this systematic review and meta-analysis provides a comprehensive analysis of CBT for autism and anxiety, examining the methodological quality of the studies through literature-derived rigor standards and the overall effectiveness of the intervention across informants and settings. These results were then used to assesses the overall level of effectiveness, in accordance with multiple published sets of standards applicable to the fields of education, psychology, and autism. Overall positive results were found for the use of CBT in reducing anxiety in children across clinician, parent, and child-report and across both the school and clinic setting. These results also support the finding that CBT meets evidence-based criteria across the fields of education, psychology, and autism for use with individuals with autism and anxiety. 2020-12-01 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent160200185807596 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent160200185807596 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
