 Stressbusters
is a collaborative effort between Autism Services and the Alvin Buckwold
Child Development Program.
We are
looking for children with High Functioning Autism or Aspergers aged 9-13
years who present with stress or anxiety. They must be verbal and be
able to read so that they can participate fully in activities. Children
will develop their own incredible five-point scale and identify coping
strategies to help them deal with stress. Activities include making
mini-movies and taking photos. Parents attend a concurrent group
where they help their
child create his or her five-point scale, learn to identify their own
stress, and learn coping strategies on how to deal with stress.

 I’m
Important Too! is a collaborative effort between staff at the Alvin
Buckwold Child Development Program and Autism Services. It is for
non-impacted siblings of a family member with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The siblings will learn about ASD, talk about how they feel about having
a brother or sister on the spectrum, and have fun at the same time. The
final group will bring parents and children together for one session to
discuss next steps.
