Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effectively applied in therapy sessions for individuals with autism to address cognitive and behavioral challenges. I often focus on identifying and modifying maladaptive thought patterns, fostering emotional regulation, and improving social skills. By emphasizing cognitive restructuring and behavioral interventions, CBT offers a structured and goal-oriented approach to help individuals with autism navigate social interactions and manage stressors more effectively.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Through evidence-based interventions such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I have worked closely with individuals across the spectrum to address core deficits and enhance adaptive skills. By breaking down complex behaviors into manageable components, I implement structured and individualized behavior plans tailored to each person's specific needs and strengths. Utilizing positive reinforcement and systematic prompting, I foster the acquisition of new skills and behaviors while reducing challenging behaviors.

he first part of a learning assessment is usually an IQ test. The second part is academic testing. This is a thorough assessment of major subjects of study that are foundational for learning. This includes: math, writing, reading, spelling, listening comprehension, and reading comprehension. If a person has a statistically significant difference between their IQ score and their academic ability, we diagnosis a specific learning disability.
