对干预计划的不同反应表明，对所有自闭症儿童采用单一治疗方法是不够的。减少结果变异性的一种方法是识别与特定干预的不同结果相关的参与者特征。在这项调查中，档案数据的分析产生了2个不同的行为特征的反应者和非反应者广泛使用的行为干预，关键反应训练（PRT）。在一项前瞻性研究中，这些特征用于选择6名接受PRT的儿童（3名预测应答者和3名预测无应答者）。治疗前有反应的儿童在一系列结果变量上表现出积极的变化。治疗前无应答者的儿童没有表现出改善;这些结果为自闭症儿童制定个性化治疗方案提供了希望。
Differential responsiveness to intervention programs suggests the inadequacy of a single treatment approach for all children with autism. One method for reducing outcome variability is to identify participant characteristics associated with different outcomes for a specific intervention. In this investigation, an analysis of archival data yielded 2 distinct behavioral profiles for responders and nonresponders to a widely used behavioral intervention, pivotal response training (PRT). In a prospective study, these profiles were used to select 6 children (3 predicted responders and 3 predicted nonresponders) who received PRT. Children with pretreatment responder profiles evidenced positive changes on a range of outcome variables. Children with pretreatment nonresponder profiles did not exhibit improvements; These results offer promise for the development of individualized treatment protocols for children with autism.
