Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating and assessing the Modular Evidence-Based Practices for Youth with Autism Fidelity Scale (MEYA-FS) to improve the evaluation of treatment fidelity in cognitive-behavioral therapy for young people with autism.
- Recorded sessions from 77 youths undergoing different therapy programs were analyzed, revealing that while adherence items showed good reliability, competence items had some inconsistencies.
- Findings indicated that higher adherence and competence in treatment were linked to better clinical outcomes, supporting the scale's validity and usefulness in research related to autism interventions.
