Replication and Extension of Behavioral Treatment of Autistic Disorder.

Kazdin, Alan E.

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v97 n4 p377-79 Jan 1993

This commentary on EC 605 442, which indicated long-term gains for children with autism who experienced intensive behavioral intervention as preschoolers, emphasizes the need for replication. The replication study should use random assignment to experimental and control groups, a larger sample of cases, standard diagnostic instruments to delineate impairment, and a broad assessment battery.
