Guthrie, Whitney; Wetherby, Amy M.; Woods, Juliann; Schatschneider, Christopher; Holland, Renee D.; Morgan, Lindee; Lord, Catherine E. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Robust evidence supports the efficacy of early autism intervention. Despite broad consensus that earlier intervention leads to better outcomes, evidence for this has been limited to correlational studies. This study examined timing effects of the Early Social Interaction (ESI) model, a parent-implemented intervention, using a complete crossover…

Bradshaw, Jessica; Trumbull, Ashley; Stapel-Wax, Jennifer; Gillespie, Scott; George, Nisha; Saulnier, Celine; Klaiman, Cheryl; Woods, Juliann; Call, Nathan; Klin, Ami; Wetherby, Amy – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Early intervention has been established as efficacious in addressing developmental delays in young children with autism spectrum disorder. Evidence that caregiver-implemented interventions are feasible and effective for young children with autism spectrum disorder is emerging, yet research suggests there are barriers to enrollment in clinical…

Walton, Katherine M.; Ingersoll, Brooke R. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
Adult responsiveness is related to language development both in young typically developing children and in children with autism spectrum disorders, such that parents who use more responsive language with their children have children who develop better language skills over time. This study used a micro-analytic technique to examine how two facets…
