Applied behavior analytic intervention for autism in early childhood: meta-analysis, meta-regression and dose-response meta-analysis of multiple outcomes. (2010, neutral): “…1993; Cohen, Merine-Dickens, & Smith, 2006; Eikeseth, Smith, Jahr, & Eldevik, 2002; Eikeseth et al., 2007; Eldevik, Eikeseth, Jahr, & Smith, 2006; Harris & Handleman, 2000; Harris, Handleman, Gordon, Kristoff, & Fuentes, 1991; Howard, Sparkman, Cohen, Green, & Stanislaw, 2005; Lovaas, 1987;…”
Meta-Analysis of Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention for Children With Autism (2009, neutral): “…& Wehner, 2001); and (f) seven did not have a control or comparison group (Anderson, Avery, DiPietro, Edwards, & Christian, 1987; Ben-Itzchak & Zachor, 2007; Harris & Handleman, 2000; Hayward, Eikeseth, Gale, & Morgan, in press; Sallows & Graupner, 2005; Smith, Buch, & Gamby, 2000; Weiss, 1999).”
Early Intervention in Autism (2005, background): “There is also empirical evidence that children who enter programs at younger ages make greater gains than those who enter programs at older ages ( Harris & Handleman, 2000; Sheinkopf & Siegel, 1998).”
Early Indicators of Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Second Year of Life (2004, background): “Research indicates that intervention provided before age 3½ has a greater impact than that after age 5 (Fenske, Zalenski, Krantz, & McClannahan, 1985; Harris & Handleman, 2000 ).”
Predictors of outcome for children receiving intensive behavioral intervention in a large, community-based program (2011, background): “This is consistent with previous studies which include samples with wide age ranges (Anderson et al., 1987; Bibby, Eikeseth, Martin, Mudford, & Reeves, 2002; Fenske et al., 1985; Harris & Handleman, 2000).”
The effects of age and treatment intensity on behavioral intervention outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorders. (2009, background): “Further, the Fenske et al. (1985) and the Harris and Handleman (2000) studies included small sample sizes (i.e., 18 and 27 children, respectively).”
Intensity of supervision and outcome for preschool aged children receiving early and intensive behavioral interventions: A preliminary study (2009, neutral): “…(Eldevik et al., 2006; Lovaas, 1987), and (c) children’s level of functioning pre treatment (Eikeseth et al., 2002, 2007; Eldevik et al., 2006; Harris & Handleman, 2000; Hayward, Eikeseth, Gale, & Morgan, in press; Lovaas & Smith, 1988; Remington et al., 2007; Sallows & Graupner, 2005).”
Early behavioral intervention, brain plasticity, and the prevention of autism spectrum disorder (2008, background): “Harris and Handleman (2000) found that children who began treatment before age 4 had much better outcomes, and that the younger and older treatment groups were virtually nonoverlapping in their placements in a regular versus special education classroom in elementary school.”
Evidence-Based Comprehensive Treatments for Early Autism (2008, neutral): “Articles by Harris and Handleman ( 2000 ) and Ben-Itzchak and Zachor ( 2006 ) have replicated the predictive power of initial IQ in terms of better outcomes.”
Examining National Trends in Educational Placements for Students With Significant Disabilities (2017, background): “Factors identified as influencing IEP team placement decisions include severity of disability (Harris & Handleman, 2000), social skills deficits (Lyons, Cappadocia, & Weiss, 2011), communication deficits (White, Scahill, Klin, Koenig, & Volkmar, 2007), and extensiveness of behavior problems…”
Intensive behavioral treatment for children with autism: four-year outcome and predictors. (2005, background): “A later report (Harris & Handleman, 2000) found that 9 of 27 children achieved IQ over 85 and were placed in regular classes (time in treatment was not reported), but most required some support.”
Effectiveness of Large-Scale Community-Based Intensive Behavioral Intervention: A Waitlist Comparison Study Exploring Outcomes and Predictors. (2012, neutral): “In previous studies exploring predictor variables, sample sizes have been relatively small and researchers have not always controlled for potentially intercorrelated variables (e.g., Harris & Handleman, 2000; Smith et al., 2000).”
