Young children with autism do better if some therapy is given in the home.
This study was designed to see if children aged 3-5 had a better response to center-based therapy if they also received home-based therapy. There were 59 children in the study and 91% of them stayed in the program for the two years of the study. The study had only 12 girls. Children who received center-based therapy and home-based therapy were smarter and better behaved. The authors described the cost of the home-based program to be modest and worthwhile when balanced against the gains of the children.
