| Abstract: | Early Intensive Behavioral Interventions (EIBI) has become a well recognized treatment for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Nonetheless, many questions remain about how to best administer these interventions and tailor treatments to given children. For researchers to make the best decisions regarding treatment, client populations must be precisely defined and described. Thus, the correct methods for client selection need to be described and used. The purpose of this paper is to take stock of methods of client selection for EIBI research. This paper reviews 34 studies which focus on this treatment model. Methods and procedures used in these studies are discussed. At present, they fall short of optimal standards. |
