Recent Developments in Treatment Outcome Measures for Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Significant advancements have been made in early intervention programs for children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, measuring treatment response for children with ASD is difficult due to the heterogeneity of changes in symptoms, which can be subtle, especially over a short period of time. Here we outline the challenge of evaluating treatment response with currently available measures as well as newly developed or refined measures that may be useful in clinical trials for young children with ASD. Continued development of treatment outcome measures will help the field identify and compare efficacious interventions and tailor treatments for children with ASD.
