Product Description:
The main thrust of the study was an evaluation of a detailed set of intervention practices that, when implemented with fidelity, resulted in statistically significant improvements across a range of measures with the children in the experimental group when compared with a randomly assigned control group, which received a less systematic exposure to the intervention model. The author concludes with the expectation that the federal, state, and local policy makers, researchers, service providers, and those in personnel preparation will recognize the substantial contributions this study provides to a field that has been struggling to identify the right variables to address when designing interventions for young children with ASD.
