Treating Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviors in School-Age Children with

High Functioning Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome

Does your child engage in one or more of the following? 
•  frequent cleaning or washing  
•  repeatedly asking for reassurance  
•  engaging in daily rituals (e.g., checking the weather)   
•  counting or checking things 
•  a need to rearrange or have things “just so”  
•  a need to complete daily activities, play activities, or schoolwork in a certain way 
•  resistant to throw things away even if they are no longer of use 
 
If any of these behaviors sound familiar, your child may have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and be eligible for Group Cognitive-Behavior Therapy at no cost! (Ages 7-12 with a diagnosis of Autism or Asperger’s) 
 
Cognitive-Behavior Therapy has been shown to be helpful in reducing these behaviors in as many as 85% of children who experience them.  
Research has shown that group therapy fosters positive interactions and friendships among children.   
 
Treatment offered at the Geneva Centre For Autism and Brock University.
