Important Predictors of Language Development for a Young Child on the Autism Spectrum

The Indiana Resource Center for Autism has put out a new article on language development for young children. The article begins,

"Like autism, there is a continuum or spectrum of approaches in teaching or enhancing communication in children on the autism spectrum.  When trying to determine what approach works best for communication development, there are to date, no controlled research studies that compare one type of approach to another.  At this point in time, we do not know what works “best.”  We do have considerable research data suggesting that intensive ABA and Verbal Behavior Therapy can be quiet effective for many, but not all,  young children on the spectrum.  We also have increasingly hard evidence to suggest that some of the eclectic approaches can also be effective for some children."
