She has 20 years of experience working with children and families in outpatient clinics\, private schools\, community mental health\, home-based treatment programs and residential facilities. Sara specializes in working with individuals facing anxiety and depression but also in children presenting with developmental issues.  Sara is often described as dedicated to her clients\, creative in her treatment approaches and sensitive to the unique needs of each family. \n ** From the Autism Research Institute: “Anxiety disorders are among the common comorbidities of autism spectrum disorder. The reason for this overlap is still under investigation. However\, several treatments for anxiety may deliver positive results for people with both anxiety and autism spectrum disorder.  \nAnxiety disorders are the most common mental disorder in the United States\, affecting about 18% of the general population. Research has shown that the incidence of anxiety in people with autism may be significantly higher than in the general population. One systematic review of the published research on anxiety and autism found that almost 40% of children with autism and 50% of adults with autism experience some sort of anxiety disorder (Van Steensel\, 2011). Adolescents and school-age children with autism have the highest prevalence of clinical (40%) and subclinical anxiety (26%) compared to other age groups with autism.”  \n We are grateful to announce that this event is sponsored in part by: Norton Police Association\, and ABA Helps!
