NCT02695693 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 212

Last updated 2019-04-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Computer assisted interventions are becoming very popular as an intervention strategy for students with autism. There is little data on how effective they are or how their implementation affects teachers' use of other evidence-based practices. The proposed study would be the first to examine these questions in a community setting.
