Recent findings indicate that high-hour autism treatments, often thought to be the standard, may not improve developmental outcomes for young autistic children.
The recent meta-analysis in JAMA Pediatrics, reviewing over 9,000 children, found no significant correlation between treatment hours and positive outcomes for autism interventions.
Healthcare professionals should reconsider the emphasis on intensive interventions, as the evidence supporting high-hour treatment schedules is increasingly being questioned.
Families may find more benefit from tailoring treatment hours to individual child needs rather than adhering to the traditional view of maximum hours.
