Description
Background: Autism spectrum disorder is one of the most common developmental disorders, which affects the way a child learns and gains certain skills. Intervention programs aid in the development of these skills and allow children with autism to reach their full potential. Purpose: The following paper examines the effectiveness of early intervention programs on the social, behavior, and cognitive skills for children with autism spectrum disorder. Methods: Participants will be recruited from local schools and community based organizations and their parents will be highly encouraged to participate. They will be separated into two groups: experimental and control. This mixed-methods study will consist of four phases to assess the efficacy of early intervention programs for children with autism. Results: Independent sample t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, and descriptive statistics will be used to interpret the data found and establish any significant differences in the development of the two groups. Conclusion: Determining the effectiveness of early intervention programs for children with autism is a key factor in helping these children reach their full potential developmentally.
