ABSTRACT
Across the spectrum of behavioral, naturalistic developmental behavioral, and developmental/relational interventions for young children with autism, there has been limited empirical testing of the mechanism of these early intervention approaches. Testing mediation provides insights to the how or why the intervention condition may be preferred in comparison to a control in the population sample (Kraemer, American Journal of Psychiatry, 2016, 173, 672). Combined with an understanding of moderation (for whom or under what conditions), we move toward a better understanding of how to personalize interventions to build on strengths and maximize skill gains for autistic children. Yet, to date there are very few published texts of mechanism in early intervention for young children with autism. This commentary explores a recently published article by Carruthers et al (2023) and examines themes and considerations for measurement of intervention outcomes and mediators.
