Intervention

Summary: This therapy is also known as Cognitive Behavioral Intervention. The therapy is the “instruction on management or control of cognitive processes that lead to changes in overt behavior.” (Wong, 2014) While this is not an explicit “educational” intervention it is needed because of the incidence of anxiety disorders in tandem with ASD. The rate of anxiety disorders in children age 13-18 years old is at 25.1% (NIMH, 2015). The average percentage estimated for high functioning individuals…

I then argue that in order for a military intervention to take place, the U.S. must have an internal…
