Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention Outcome Studies Bibliography

Many people ask if there have been well conducted studies indicating Intensive Early Behavioral Intervention is effective. The following bibliography includes a combination of types of early intervention, mostly ABA discrete trial methods, but others include incidental learning and developmental approaches as well.
