A total of 809 children participated across the 16 included studies. We classified children in terms of the diagnoses they had been assigned in the original research reports. Of these participating children, 734 (91%) had a diagnosis of autism/ASD, 25 (3%) had a diagnosis of PDD-NOS, 1 child (< 1%) had a diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome, and 1 (< 1...
The early interventions being evaluated in these studies were implemented in the regular classroom environments within inclusive preschool settings for all 16 included studies. However, in one study, part of the intervention was delivered on a one-on-one basis in a designated treatment room at the preschool (Eikeseth et al. 2012). Twelve studies (7...
Various intervention approaches were used across the 16 included studies. Seven studies (44%) delivered some type of comprehensive intervention that targeted a range of developmental areas (Boulware et al. 2006; D’Elia et al. 2014; Eikeseth et al. 2012; Eldevik et al. 2012; Schwartz et al. 2004; Strain and Bovey 2011; Young et al. 2016). These seve...
Frequency of intervention refers to the number of sessions per week. Seven studies (44%) included details of the frequency of intervention sessions (Boulware et al. 2006; Eldevik et al. 2012a, 2012b; Fleury and Schwartz 2017; Garfinkle and Schwartz 2002; Olive et al. 2007; VanDerHeyden et al. 2002); the mean number of sessions per week across these...
Intervention intensity, that is, the mean number of hours of intervention per week, was not specified for one study (Kern and Aldridge 2006) and was unclear for a further study (VanDerHeyden et al. 2002). Another three studies (Gibson et al. 2010; Kern et al. 2007; McBride and Schwartz 2003) provided the number of minutes per intervention session, ...
Duration refers to the amount of time (in months) over which the intervention was conducted. The mean duration of intervention was reported in 10 studies (63%) and ranged from 1.2 to 25 months with a mean of 15 months. The duration of intervention was not specified or was not clearly specified in four studies (25%; Garfinkle and Schwartz 2002; Harj...
Five studies (31%) did not report any details on the approach used for training teachers to implement the intervention procedures (Boulware et al. 2006; D’Elia et al. 2014; Eikeseth et al. 2012; Schwartz et al. 2004; Van DerHeyden et al. 2002). For the remaining studies (69%), a range of methods was used to train teaching staff, including (a) provi...
Table 2indicates that all 16 studies reported on child outcomes. Outcomes have been grouped according to study design. Specifically, the nine studies (56%) with single-case designs primarily used direct observation to measure child outcomes so these studies have been grouped together. The remaining seven studies (44%), which all had group designs, ...
The nine studies (56%) with a single-case design included at least one child outcome measured by in vivo or video observation of child behavior (Fleury and Schwartz 2017; Garfinkle and Schwartz 2002; Gibson et al. 2010; Harjusola-Webb and Robbins 2012; Kern and Aldridge 2006; Kern et al. 2007; McBride and Schwartz 2003; Olive et al. 2007; Van DerHe...
For the seven group design studies, a range of instruments were used to measure child outcomes. Six (86%) of these group studies (Boulware et al. 2006; D’Elia et al. 2014; Eikeseth et al. 2012; Eldevik et al. 2012; Strain and Bovey 2011; Young et al. 2016) measured children’s adaptive/maladaptive behavior using a range of instruments including (a) ...

In summary, addressing challenging behaviors for preschoolers with autism involves identifying the underlying cause, developing a behavior intervention plan (BIP), using positive reinforcement, visual supports, and sensory strategies, collaborating with parents and caregivers, and using functional communication training.
This article supports standard 3 by sharing instructional supports for children with autism spectrum disorder.
There are the two fundamental characteristics of preschools for autism: cultivating an inclusive and supportive learning environment and providing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and school accommodations.
