HOT off the PRESS!! Autism Research and Treatment Volume 2015 (2015), Article ID 386951, 16 pages dx.doi.org/10.1155/2015/386951 I have found the research study that defines me and shares my philosophical beliefs. I am continuing to learn how to guide/coach/facilitate families in prevention and intervention and this study supports where my journey has come and will be headed towards! The prime aim of the current study......and no studies have been published that test the effects of a parent-mediated intervention for infants at risk of ASD (before diagnosis) from a nonclinical community population.. Parental responsiveness is a key variable associated with developmental gains in typically developing children as well as for those who are at risk of or who have been diagnosed with developmental disabilities including ASD Five published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) specifically included toddlers with ASD < 24 months of age and thus are described further. These studies utilized clinical samples of children with ASD referred from EI programs or clinics and/or high-risk infant siblings. Although the specific approach and context of the interventions (clinic versus in- home) varied, all five studies demonstrated positive effects of early behavioral intervention. Specifically, Dawson et al. found evidence that the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM;) was more effective than usual services for improving cognitive and adaptive functioning for 48 children, ages 18–30 months (𝑀 = 23). ESDM, a relatively high intensity intervention based on principles of applied behavior analysis and developmental strategies, was administered by trained clinicians in the families’ homes ∼15 hours per week and supplemented by parents over the course of two years.
