Article Synopsis
- A 24-week trial tested a new approach called MAYAC for young autistic children, focusing on flexible hours and parental input compared to traditional comprehensive behavioral intervention (CBI, TAU).
- The study involved 56 autistic children aged 18-60 months, measuring outcomes with tools like the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and others.
- Results showed significant improvements for both MAYAC and CBI, with MAYAC being potentially as effective as CBI, while parents reported high satisfaction with both interventions.
Objectives: To evaluate changes in access to and utilization of behavioral health (BH) services after the integration of psychologists into primary care clinics compared with clinics without integrated psychologists.
Methods: We integrated 4 of 12 primary care clinics within our academic health system. We used the median wait time for BH services as a proxy for changes in access and defined BH utilization as the percentage of primary care visits that resulted in contact with a BH clinician within 180 days.
Scatter and heterogeneity in cognitive profiles is thought to be common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which may indicate differences in the construct of IQ.

Scatter is also thought to negatively impact the predictive validity of IQ summary scores, although there is research refuting this notion.
