Stepped-Care Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Youth With ASD and Anxiety

"Stepped Care CBT is a multi-method, parent-led approach, consisting of two main steps. Step one involves a low-intensity delivery of CBT, consisting of more flexible, parent-led, at-home treatment. Participants who do not show improvement in symptom severity at the end of Step One, are then stepped up to receive Step Two. Step two involves a high intensity delivery of CBT, consisting of therapist-led, parent-assisted weekly treatment sessions."
