The Treatment Validity of Autism Screening Instruments
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Livanis, Andrew; Mouzakitis, Angela – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2010
Treatment validity is a frequently neglected topic of screening instruments used to identify autism spectrum disorders. Treatment validity, however, should represent an important aspect of these instruments to link the resulting data to the selection of interventions as well as make decisions about treatment length and intensity. Research…
