| Research Abstract |
In the current study, we developed a home-based early intervention program for children with autism spectrum disorders. The program focused on the early communication development, and could be customized according to each child's developmental needs and characteristics. The program was implemented at each child's home, and the results indicated that the attention to social stimuli, joint attention, imitation, language (comprehension and production), and social skills were improved. We assessed the effects of a training program for the parents and specialists (home-intervention therapists, clinical psychologists, school teachers, and speech and language therapists) to acquire the knowledge and skills for the program by using a newly developed fidelity check list. Implications in relation to the efficacy and feasibility of the training program were provided.
