Developmental factors direct optimal implementations of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) protocols with children and adolescents. Although chronological age can approximate level of development, youthful clients benefit when clinicians carefully assess each child’s cognitive, social, and emotional skills and adjust manualized treatments accordingly. Using several components of manualized CBT for anxiety in youth (i.e., affective education, cognitive restructuring, exposure tasks) as a framework, this article reviews empirical literature and provides practical suggestions for modifying these aspects of treatment to fit a child’s level of development. Important issues such as engaging youth in treatment, and involving school personnel and parents in this process are also discussed. This article concludes with a call for future research that will inform the implementation of manualized treatments based on developmental factors.
