Academic Research: Comprehensive Synthesis of Early Intensive Behavioral Interventions for Young Children with Autism based on the UCLA Young Autism Project Model

Reichow, B., & Wolery, M. (2009). Comprehensive synthesis of early Intensive behavioral interventions for young children with autism based on the UCLA Young Autism Project model. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39(1), 23-41.

This journal article investigated the effectiveness of early intensive behavioral interventions for young children with autism. The particular intervention investigated is the UCLA Young Autism Project method (the Lovaas method). The finding of this journal article suggest that EIBI is an effect treatment for children with autism; however, the author notes the limitations of the study (i.e. number of cases looked at; the tendency for things to be overstated by the analyses). The author also notes that while it seemed that EIBI helped some children, this intervention did not suit the needs of all the children.
