Treatment Outcome Is Encouraging.

Mesibov, Gary B.

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v97 n4 p379-80 Jan 1993

This commentary on EC 605 442, which indicated long-term gains for children with autism who experienced intensive behavioral intervention as preschoolers, questions the magnitude of the student changes and their significance, because of concerns about the representativeness and comparability of the sample group and the failure to measure skills required for normal functioning.
