Elevate your therapeutic toolkit with a powerful workshop led by Karen Levine, PhD, addressing the surge in anxiety-related fears and phobias among autistic children.
Join us as Dr. Levine guides you through a groundbreaking treatment model that seamlessly integrates developmental play-based interventions with gradual exposure—an approach designed to revolutionize your practice. Although gradual exposure by itself is stress inducing for autistic individuals, when paired with play and humor it becomes a non-distressing technique that 'unbundles' phobias, breaking them down into isolated components for more tolerable exposure.
Learn how to engage your young autistic clients through enjoyable and individualized interactions that will address their fears and the source thereof—using humor and adjusting exposure based on their affect. This innovative, research-backed model promotes co-regulation and fosters sustained well-being in the child!

Video Examples and Specific How-Tos
Karen Levine, PhD, is a developmental psychologist of 30 years, whose passion for improving the well-being of children who have developmental, social or emotional challenges has been the driving force throughout her career. She incorporates a developmental, relationship-based approach to assessment and treatment, incorporating playfulness and fun into treatment when feasible, as a means of increasing happiness and lowering anxiety and distress. Dr. Levine believes there is not a one size fits all approach to assessment or treatment, and that individual children and families need different kinds of support at different points in their development.
Dr. Levine developed a play-based treatment for children with fears and phobias, integrating the evidenced based behavioral tool of Gradual Exposure within a developmental, relationship-based model. This approach, described in her book, with co-author Naomi Chedd, LMHC, Attacking Anxiety, is currently called Behavior Play Therapy, and is being studied and manualized by Bonnie Klein-Tasman, PhD at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. She is a part time lecturer on psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
