Randomized Study of Intensive One-on-One Behavioral Treatment Versus Individualized Parent Training in Preschool Aged Children With Autism
Not Provided

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effectiveness of intensive one-on-one behavioral treatment in the home or neighborhood compared with at home, individualized, parent training in preschool aged children with autism.

II. Identify intake measures that predict differences in outcome between subjects in the experimental group.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Children are randomized to receive either 35 hours of intensive one-on-one behavioral treatment in the home and neighborhood for 2 years or individualized, in home parent training for 6 months.

A common group of tests to evaluate autism are administered at intake, 12 and 24 months into treatment, and when patients reach age 6.
