child is suffering with anxiety in the classroom or a sadness they can’t shake? Children and adolescents are often thought to be carefree and absent of worry. Parents and other adults in their lives try to filter the negativity they experience. Cushioning them from a world of pressure so they don’t have to experience the weight adulthood places on individuals. Just because adults try to prevent it does not mean children do not feel it.

Millions of children every year experience preventable injuries and hundreds of thousands die each year from those injuries (Peden, 2008). Decades of research have explored how to reduce un-safe behaviours and teach safety skills in children but many methods have proven ineffective (Dowswell, Towner, & Jarvis, 1996). Unintentional injuries are still a significant health problem for children therefore; safety remains a very important topic to research (Peden, 2008). All the studies we will explore
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to Treat Obsessive Compulsive Behavior in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder” by the Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities journal, groups of eight to twelve-year-old children with high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder are assessed.
