Young children with autism have particular difficulty in understand and controlling their emotions, especially when those emotions are negative. This practical manual for professionals provides a set of simple strategies to help children with high-functioning autism or Asperger’s syndrome who suffer from mood difficulties to decrease negative feelings and increase positive feelings in daily life. Using a cognitive behavioral therapy approach, the Stress and Anger Management Program (STAMP) is designed specifically for young children in their pre-school and early school years. The book outlines a dynamic and effective nine-session group program using methods, games and activities that are developmentally appropriate. Treatment components include affective education, cognitive restructuring and the emotional toolbox. Learn more on Amazon.*
