Issue 37:1—Interventions and Autism Spectrum Disorder
The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) continues to rise and attention to effective interventions is correspondingly high. Research on practical, educational and behavioral interventions is vitally important as more and more early childhood educators and other practitioners encounter children with ASD. Manuscripts are sought that address interventions intended to improve young children’s engagement, communication, behavior, play, social interaction or any other domain relevant to desired development. Data-based reports are especially encouraged but research syntheses, conceptual papers, or position papers are also welcomed. Due Date: July 31, 2016
