Peters-Scheffer, Nienke; Didden, Robert; Korzilius, Hubert; Matson, Johnny – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) may result in improved cognitive, adaptive and social functioning and reductions in autism severity and behavioral problems in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). For a subset of children, normal functioning may be the result. However, due to the intensity (20-40 h per week for 3 years with…
