Abstract:
An information processing assessment of mental ability coupled with a conventional test of development can identify normal intelligence in children with PDD and autism. A variety of measures indicate that a treatment program designed to foster compliant behavior, first with actions and then with words, can result in substantial "catch-up" in the majority of children with intact information processing ability.
Key words:
infant toddler; non-compliance; behavioral treatment; autism; pervasive developmental disorder
