Early Behavioral Intervention Is Associated With Normalized Brain Activity in Young Children With Autism (2012, background): “Early intervention that is designed to enhance social attention and affective and social engagement, thereby promoting the development of cognitive and language skills, may serve to alter a child’s brain development toward a more normal developmental trajectory.(6) To evaluate this hypothesis, the a”
Randomized, Controlled Trial of an Intervention for Toddlers With Autism: The Early Start Denver Model (2010, background): “Exclusion criteria included (1) a neurodevelopmental disorder of known etiology (eg, fragile X syndrome), (2) significant sensory or motor impairment, (3) major physical problems such as a chronic serious health condition, (4) seizures at time of entry, (5) use of psychoactive medications, (6) histo”
Race, Culture, and Autism Spectrum Disorder: Understanding the Role of Diversity in Successful Educational Interventions (2009, background): “standing has spawned much Bcause and cure[ research aimed at identifying the etiology of the disorders for developing treatments and, ultimately, for preventing the occurrence of ASD (Dawson, 2008).”
Effectiveness of Large-Scale Community-Based Intensive Behavioral Intervention: A Waitlist Comparison Study Exploring Outcomes and Predictors. (2012, neutral): “Results suggest that initial age is an important predictor of better outcomes in IBI relative to a comparison group, supporting the idea that there may be a period of development during which IBI is most effective at altering developmental trajectories (see Dawson, 2008).”
Differences in White Matter Fiber Tract Development Present from 6 to 24 Months in Infants with Autism (2012, background): “Identifying infants at highest risk for ASD before the full syndrome is manifest offers the possibility of implementing behavioral and other interventions during infancy that could reduce or even prevent the manifestation of the full syndrome (58).”
Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions: Empirically Validated Treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (2015, background): “Our challenge, however, is to design and adapt our interventions to very young children in order to achieve optimal outcomes (Dawson 2008).”
