Early diagnosis and treatment are considered critical to improve outcomes. Understanding how policy influences such services could have substantial impact on outcomes for autistic children. We conducted a narrative literature review to determine what is known on how policy impacts early autism diagnosis and treatment. We found 17 articles that describe policy factors promoting early diagnosis and seven articles that identify policy factors affecting variability in autism services. We identified the following themes: (1) state policy factors influence access to diagnosis and other autism services, (2) innovative screening models affect early diagnosis, (3) provider training programs increase autism screening and diagnosis, (4) insurance policy influences autism services variability, and (5) resource availability affects geographic variability in autism services. Although common themes exist, more robust investigation is needed on policy impacting early autism services—beyond insurance and early intervention—and utilizing more rigorous designs.</p>","PeriodicalId":46647,"journal":{"name":"Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139078435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Originally developed in the USA, implementation of these interventions has become widespread in the last decade in Turkey. Given the significance of culture in guiding ABA practices, this meta-analysis investigated the prevalence and the magnitude effects of ABA-based interventions and whether specific participant and intervention characteristics moderated such effects in Turkey. Seventy-one ABA-based intervention studies were assessed based on What Works Clearinghouse (WWC, Kratochwill et al., <i>Remedial and Special Education</i>, 34(1), 26–38, 2013) design standards (DSs) including (a) systematic manipulation of independent variables, (b) interrater reliability, (c) three demonstrations of the intervention effect, and (d) adequate number of data points collected for each condition. Forty-three studies that met WWC (Kratochwill et al., <i>Remedial and Special Education</i>, 34(1), 26–38, 2013) DSs were analyzed and calculated with baseline-corrected tau (Tarlow, <i>Behavior Modification, 41</i>(4), 427–467, 2017). Furthermore, performance-criteria-based effect size values (PCES; Aydin and Tanious, <i>Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis</i>, 2021) were calculated for 27 studies that had mastery criteria. While the overall tau appeared to be large 0.71 (<i>p</i> = 0.072, se = 0.254), the overall effect size for PCES revealed a small effect of 0.73. The comparisons of all sub-categories’ effect sizes of moderator variables were not statistically significant based on Kruskal Wallis or Mann Whitney U tests. Additionally, findings revealed that studies were predominantly implemented by highly trained researchers in segregated one-on-one settings, and did not include adults with ASD nor challenging behavior. Overall, there has been significant growth in ABA-based interventions in Turkey that show promise in improving the lives of individuals with ASD. However, further research and cultural considerations are essential for a comprehensive understanding of their impact in the Turkish context. Findings from two different effect size analyses and recommendations for future studies are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":46647,"journal":{"name":"Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139078326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
