program. These children comprised the experimental treatment group. Six additional families, with children matched for age
and severity of autism with the experimental children, were included in the control group.1 Control children did not receive
SRP or any other training during the study period. Reimbursement for travel expenses and housing and meals during the
study were provided at no cost to them.
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS, Module 1) (Lord et al., 2000) and the Autism Diagnostic Interview-
Revised (ADI-R) (Lord, Rutter, & Couteur, 1994) were administered to all children prior to participating in the study. Each
child’s parents also completed the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (Sparrow, Balla, & Cicchetti, 1984). Children presented
with an expressive language level of 32 months or less.2 Children in the experimental and control groups did not significantly
differ on any subscale of the ADOS, ADI-R, or Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (Mann–Whitney U tests, all p-values > 0.05).
See Tables 1 and 2 for demographic and diagnostic data for each child.
