The report, Interventions for children on the autism spectrum: A synthesis of research evidence (Autism Interventions Evidence Report), provides families and clinicians the best opportunity to make informed decisions when choosing interventions. It includes a broad overview of intervention for children on the autism spectrum, including the principles underpinning all interventions, and the rationale behind each category of intervention. The report also includes a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence for the effects of interventions for children on the spectrum, both therapeutic and otherwise. The evidence review was conducted to international best-practice standards, including only the highest quality of evidence. The report was commissioned by the National Disability Insurance Agency and completed by Autism CRC through the work of a research team with a diverse range of professional backgrounds.
