| Abstract: | Early intensive interventions have become popular. Thus, not surprisingly, the amount of research surrounding this topic has increased and evolved rapidly. The persons providing treatment, the settings in which treatment is provided, and the methods used have varied considerably. This paper reviews current trends. For example, 20–40 h of therapy weekly has consistently characterized the literature. Conversely, the role of parents has transformed as they have increasingly become co-therapists. One major concern is that little effort has been put into the transition from these intensive programs to educational settings. These factors and related parameters are reviewed and the implications are discussed. |
