Join Free →The CASP White Paper: Examining the Impact of Treatment Intensity for Young Autistic Children – Jane S. Howard and Linda LeBlanc The CASP white paper serves as a supplemental resource for stakeholders aiming to deepen their understanding of the role of treatment intensity on outcomes for young children with autism. It provides a context for the generally accepted standards of care (GASC) for this patient population as reflected in the CASP Practice Guidelines – 3 rd edition. Furthermore, it examines the connections between GASC, the research foundation, and evidence-based practice. It also addresses several methodological flaws in recent studies that report no effect on outcomes related to varying levels of treatment intensity. Learning Objectives Discuss the importance of generally accepted standards and the CASP Practice Guidelines (3 rd edition) to providing applied behavior analysis care to individuals with autism.Explain some of the features of well-controlled studies in the review of the literature base relevant to evidence-based practice.Describe the features of several well-controlled, prospective studies (including meta-analyses) that examine the role of treatment intensity on outcomes for young children with autism who receive ABA treatment.Summarize the benchmarks found in the Eldevik et al. (2024) meta-analysis and how they could be used to evaluate and compare ABA and other treatment approaches. The CASP Documentation SIG Templates – Heather O'Shea and Rebecca Womack The Power of Benchmarking: Why It Matters for Trade Associations – Natesh Kumar, Joanne Gerenser, Rebecca Giammatii, Julie Adcock, and Lani Fritts Benchmarking is one of the most valuable tools a trade association can provide its members. Today, Autism Industry Benchmarking is nonexistent. By collecting and sharing standardized performance metrics across the industry, CASP can offer members a clear view of how they stack up—highlighting strengths, uncovering gaps, and guiding strategic decisions. In a landscape where "what good looks like" is often unclear, benchmarking brings clarity, credibility, and a collective push toward higher standards. It transforms data into insight—and insight into action. Coming Soon: The CASP/APBA Assessment Guidelines – Chanti Waters, Allyson Moore, and Jane S.
