    It has been suggested that symptoms of ASD might moderate the efficacy of CBA interventions for anxiety of typically developing youth (Puleo and Kendall 2011). However, with limited reports on participant level of autistic symptomology, this review could not examine the moderating effects of the degree of autistic symptomology on intervention outco...

    Other than all interventions being conducted by therapists in clinical settings and nearly all intervention targets being anxiety reduction, the reviewed interventions were heterogeneous in many other important features such as programs used, intervention modalities, time span over which intervention took place, numbers of sessions, total intervent...

    The outcomes variables in the reviewed studies were mainly severity of anxiety or related issues and were measured with standardized measures. Although behavioral changes were measured in five studies, only three studies provided observational measures of the actual changes in natural or contrived settings. The majority of the standardized measures...

    The significant and large ESs (0.89) obtained in the current meta-analysis is suggestive of the overall efficacy of CBA interventions for children with ASD. This finding is primarily applicable to anxiety interventions for children with ASD within the normal range of intellectual abilities and around the age of 10 years. Given, the diversity in int...

    The superiority of randomized controlled trials depends on the group equivalence achieved through the random allocation of participants into treatment or control conditions, adjustment for pretest and posttest covariance difference being made, raters being blind to the group allocation, and ensuring procedural fidelity. Only half of all the reviewe...

    Although it is argued that CBA might be particularly suitable to children with ASD with higher cognitive abilities (Klinger and Williams 2009; Ozonoff 1999; Whyte 2009), the current narrow focus restrains the development of a thorough understanding of the application of CBA to children with ASD and with lower cognitive abilities (Rotheram-Fuller an...

Jan 1, 2013 · Then a wide array of evidence-based interventions would become available to utilize, rather than only those that have been specifically tested on groups of students on the spectrum. For example, executive function (EF) problems affect individuals with ADHD, Asperger Syndrome, Nonverbal Learning Disability, and others with no diagnosis at all.
