Mothers, Fathers, Teachers, and Speech Therapists as Assessors of Treatment Outcome for Children with Autism.

Handleman, Jan S.; And Others

Education and Treatment of Children, v13 n2 p153-58 May 1990

Mothers, fathers, teachers, and speech therapists rated improvement in communication skills of 11 young children (ages 3-5) with autism following one year of intensive treatment. Results found fathers, teachers, and speech therapists in significant agreement with a psychometric measure of speech and language, whereas mothers' ratings bore no relationship to this measure.
