Abstract
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is considered best practice for treating anxiety in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in clinic settings. However, there is significant need to translate CBT into school settings. This paper presents two case illustrations of students who participated in the Facing Your Fears: School-Based program (FYF-SB), a manualized, group CBT intervention for anxiety in ASD, adapted for delivery in schools by interdisciplinary school providers. Students showed improvement in anxiety across multiple domains following intervention, according to clinical interview and parent- and self-report. These outcomes suggest that anxious youth with ASD can benefit from CBT delivered by interdisciplinary school providers. Importantly, decreases in anxiety symptoms were evident in domains that were not explicitly targeted during intervention. Overall, these case illustrations help frame areas of future research, including examining how treatment gains may generalize across anxiety domains as well as whether corresponding improvement in school functioning occurs.
