“…The field is rapidly approaching the point where autism will be diagnosed for many or most children before 3 years of age. However, we have no empirically supported treatments for children with autism 2 years and younger, and little other than a few case reports (Green, Brennan, & Fein, 2002;McGee, Morrier, & Daly, 1999). Children with autism who are younger than 3 years of age qualify for public intervention services, but these programs often provide little more than about a 1 hr home visit or play group every week.…”
