Peer networks project: Improving social-communication, literacy and adaptive behaviors for young children with ASDThis is a current project. DescriptionGiven the alarming increase in the number of young children identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), experimental studies are needed that document effective interventions. This project will examine the effectiveness of a comprehensive social-communication and literacy intervention program that addresses early social-communication and interaction skills, reading and academic skills, and behavioral and adaptive functional skills for young children with ASD. Culturally diverse children in public school districts in the metropolitan Kansas City area (in both Missouri and Kansas) and the Seattle, Wash., area will participate.
