Are you searching for the most effective therapies for your adult child with Asperger Disorder/High Functioning Autism? Join this online parent support group session designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions about advanced therapeutic options.

In this session, I will provide a brief overview of three research-validated therapeutic approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based therapies. You’ll gain practical insights into how these therapies can enhance your child’s emotional regulation, social skills, and daily functioning. We’ll also explore the challenges and rewards of these approaches, helping you understand how they can be tailored to meet your child’s unique needs.

Through shared stories and an interactive Q&A, you’ll connect with fellow parents, learn valuable strategies to support your child’s persistence in therapy, and discover how to overcome common barriers that may arise during the therapeutic journey. This session will also focus on how you can support your child in making the most out of their therapy, addressing specific concerns like sensory sensitivities, therapist compatibility, and promoting autonomy.

Additionally, we’ll discuss ways to take care of your own well-being as a parent, ensuring you are well-supported while supporting your child. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped with actionable tools to help your adult child stay engaged in therapy, work towards their personal goals, and unlock their full potential.
