Abstract

An earlier, intensive, summer project resulted in an effective therapy program for autistic children. The only assistance for continuing the program during die academic term was from four undergraduates skilled in operant conditioning (each available for two hours per week) and undergraduates enrolled in the authors’ courses. Under these conditions, a program was developed that maintained daily therapy sessions with autistic children, while giving training to inexperienced undergraduates. Data pertaining to the effectiveness of the daily therapy sessions and the training of the undergraduates are presented, and variables thought to be important to the success of the program are discussed.
