Early Childhood Autism and Structural Therapy: Outcome after 3 Years.
Ward, Alan J.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v46 n3 p586-87 Jun 1978
Examines the effect of three years of structural therapy on inpatient cases of early childhood autism (ECA). Treatment resulted in the discharge of 12 patients. Results indicate that high stimulation, physically intrusive, gamelike, novelty filled, and developmentally oriented treatment of structural therapy can produce significant improvement in cases of ECA.
