Randomized comparison of two communication interventions for preschoolers with autism spectrum disorders
Abstract
This randomized group experiment compared the efficacy of 2 communication interventions (Responsive Education and Prelinguistic Milieu Teaching [RPMT] and the Picture Exchange Communication System [PECS]) in 36 preschoolers with autism spectrum disorders. Each treatment was delivered 3 times per week, in 20-min sessions, for 6 months. The results revealed that the RPMT facilitated the frequency of generalized turn taking and generalized initiating joint attention more than did the PECS. The latter effect occurred only for children who began treatment with at least some initiating joint attention. In contrast, the PECS facilitated generalized requests more than the RPMT in children with very little initiating joint attention prior to treatment. These effect sizes were large.

The findings apply only to children with core autism and cannot be generalised to children with broad autism spectrum disorder.
“We only studied children with core autism rather than the range of the autism spectrum that was often included in previous trials.15,16”

The MCDI is psychometrically strong, and raw scores in young children with ASD are concurrently associated with communicative word use in language samples (r=.67 to .72).
“This is a psychometrically strong instrument, and raw scores in young children with ASD are concurrently associated with communicative word use in language samples (r = .67 to .72).”
In two studies, a measure of initial object exploration determined the extent to which a child would benefit more from one language-based intervention versus another, or the extent to which children had better communication outcomes from a parent-mediated intervention.
“In both studies, a measure developed to index the level of initial object exploration determined the extent to which a child would benefit more from 1 language-based intervention versus another 35 or the extent to which children had better communication outcomes from a parent-mediated intervention. 15”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
