Abstract

The Exploring Feelings programme is an adapted Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) programme developed by Tony Attwood (2004) and designed for children with autism. In this study, the researcher explores the effectiveness of the Exploring Feelings programme with two boys with autism aged 14 and 16. He provides valuable insight into setting up the programme, how the boys felt about it, factors affecting the effectiveness of the programme and future directions. This paper is useful for other staff seeking to set up CBT programmes with children with autism.
