Brief Report: Progress Reported in Three Children with Autism Using Daily Life Therapy.

Larkin, Anne S.; Gurry, Susan

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v28 n4 p339-42 Aug 1998

Over a two-year period, the students made strong gains in behavior and attending to classroom stimuli, but not necessarily in specific skill areas. (CR)
