Autism and Lovaas treatment : a systematic review of effectiveness evidence Bassett, Kenneth, 1952-; Green, C. J. (Carolyn Joanne), 1956-; Kazanjian, Arminée, 1947-
Abstract
This systematic review examined whether early, intensive behavioural therapy for children with autism results in normal functioning, or essentially a cure. The scientific validity of this curative claim is central both to legal proceedings brought on behalf of several children in British Columbia against the Province seeking an intensive behavioural program; and to cost-benefit analyses and clinical guidelines used for planning autism treatment programs. The report concludes that, while many forms of intensive behavioural therapy clearly benefit children with autism, there is insufficient, scientifically-valid effectiveness evidence to establish a causal relationship between a particular program of intensive, behavioural treatment, and the achievement of ‘normal functioning’
