Dissemination:
In our first ever ‘Research Report’, we report on the outcomes of a field effectiveness study of early intensive behavioural intervention undertaken by the SCAmP team at the University of Southampton.
This research assessed the effect of early intensive behavioural intervention (EIBI) for autism. EIBI is a comprehensive form of intervention, in which pre-school children are taught a wide range of skills by a specially trained group of teachers, normally including the parents of the children. The study was uniquely designed as a stringent test of whether EIBI for children with autism is beneficial in routine use in the UK when compared with standard pre-school provision.
