“…However, it may be extended to family members provided they receive appropriate training to properly facilitate the needs of individuals diagnosed with ASD. Research studies affirm the importance of parent-child relationship in the whole process of intervention [71][72][73][74].…”

This paper evaluated the effectiveness of music, play and augmentative alternative communication (AAC) with a new found technique called "Ilin-Ilin" (creatively use of music, play and AAC along humor and fun), altogether called Multi-Approach Intervention to enhance adaptive skills in domains and subdomains of communication, daily living, socialization, motor and maladaptive behavior of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study was conducted for 24 h sessions, three to four times a week involving five children aged 2-5 years. From five, three participants satisfactorily met the inclusion criteria, whose results were reported in this study. Pre and post data of each participant were gathered through interview with the participant's mother and teacher using VABS-II. Paired t-test was used to examine whether there was a significant change in adaptive skills among the participants after the intervention. Result reveals that Multi-Intervention Approach has positive effects to the general adaptive behavior. The helpfulness of the interventions were found statistically evident in enhancing communication (receptive),socialization (interpersonal relationship, play and leisure time and coping skills), and motor skills (gross and fine) and in impeding maladaptive behavior particularly the internalizing subdomain but less influenced in the daily living skills of the participants (only in personal subdomain). To sum up, the intervention is found most effective in enhancing the socialization and motor skills including their subdomains.

“…It is true that the literature lacks large population-based studies of outcomes of children detected through screening and referred to early intervention. However, the majority of the good and fair quality early intervention studies reviewed in the evidence report found improvements in the treatment group; more specifically, children who start treatment earlier have the best outcomes (MacDonald, Parry-Cruwys, Dupere, & Ahearn, 2014; Orinstein et al, 2014), including children receiving intervention in publicly-funded, community-based agencies (Smith, Klorman, & Mruzek, 2015). Children detected through screening are expected to be younger than those detected through other means, which makes it likely that intervention will be even more successful than in older samples.…”

“…The impact of false negatives (missed cases) seems to us worse than potential false positives, especially in light of recent studies suggesting that very early intervention (before age 2 or 3) can lead to a better outcome. 6 The authors state that 'Based on their performance in this study, reliance on either of the screening instruments in isolation would lead to considerable under identification of children likely to go on to receive an ASD diagnosis . .…”
