Facing Your Fears Program

Due to delays in our funding, our Facing your Fears program is not currently available.

Facing Your Fears is an evidence-based group intervention developed by Dr. Judy Reaven, Dr. Audrey Blakely-Smith, Dr. Shana Nichols, and Dr. Susan Hepburn at the University of Colorado that uses a cognitive-behavioral approach to reduce anxiety symptoms for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This 14 week program is designed for children ages 8-14 and their parents and involves large-group instruction as well as separate parent and child groups. The sessions focus on identifying worries, developing coping strategies, and "facing your fears" with guidance and support from facilitators. 

This program will be provided at no cost to families.
