Chang, Ya-Chih; Shire, Stephanie Y.; Shih, Wendy; Gelfand, Carolyn; Kasari, Connie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Few research-developed early intervention models have been deployed to and tested in real world preschool programs. In this study, teaching staff implemented a social communication modularized intervention, JASPER, in their daily program. Sixty-six preschool children with autism in twelve classrooms (12 teachers) were randomized to receive…
