Service-Based Interventions and Autism

Children with autismChildren with autismChildren with autismChildren with autismChildren with autism

This page provides links to information about some of the service-based interventions commonly used to help individuals with autism. It includes definitions, efficacy studies and reviews, other publications, and our evaluations of some of those interventions.

Disclaimer

This page does not provide information about every service-based intervention used by people with autism, although we hope you will find it a useful starting point. If you know of any other service-based interventions we should include on this page please email info@researchautism.net.

The fact that an intervention is listed on this page does not necessarily mean that there is any scientifically valid or reliable evidence to support its use.

Our descriptions and evaluations do not constitute a recommendation about whether or not an intervention is suitable for a particular individual with autism. That is a decision for the individual with autism – and/or their carers, clinicians and others – to make.

Please see Autism Treatment Notes for more information about this and similar pages.
