Home-based therapy and school-based therapy work equally well to help preschoolers with autism.
This study was designed to test whether preschool aged children with autism do better if they receive therapy at home or at preschool. The study included 44 children in the United Kingdom who received two years of therapy. While this study found that children did the same at home or in preschool, other studies have found that children do better when they receive therapy at home. This study found that the difference in outcome between home and preschool groups was not as large as the difference between individual children, no matter where they received therapy. The authors note that it is important that the children receive therapy from specialists.
