However, in cases of severe intellectual disability, neurocognitive disability, neurodevelopmental disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or other problems that make it impossible for someone to benefit from a cognitive therapy, TF-CBT is not indicated.Cohen JA, Mannarino AP, Deblinger E (2017) Treating trauma and traumatic grief in children and adolescents, 2nd edn. TF-CBT can be used with children and youth who have intellectual, cognitive, or other developmental problems if their level of functioning allows them to engage in and benefit from a cognitive therapy. If a child does not have clinically significant problems related to traumatic events, TF-CBT is not indicated. Consequently, they may not have significant mental health symptoms related to those experiences.

Some children are highly resilient, possess effective coping skills, and have strong familial and social support systems to help them manage potentially traumatic experiences effectively. If a child does not have a known history of traumatic events, TF-CBT is not indicated. Every effort should be made to locate and engage a supportive parent or other caregiver in the treatment process. While TF-CBT can be done with children without a supportive caregiver, substantial parts of the treatment will be lost. Parent/Caregiver Involvement: Having a supportive parent or other caregiver such as a grandparent, other kinship caregiver, or foster parent involved in treatment is highly desirable.Co-morbid Diagnoses: TF-CBT can be used successfully with traumatized children and youth with co-occurring difficulties such as ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder.Other Trauma-related Problems: Children may have other trauma-related problems such as depression, anxiety, fear, shame, self-blame, behavior problems, sexual behavior problems, or traumatic grief.Research has found that children consistently experiencing 4 or more PTSD symptoms can benefit from TF-CBT.
