Promoting emotional and behavioral interventions in ASD treatment: Evidence from EPIGRAM, A naturalistic, prospective and longitudinal study.

Background: Prognostic factors from naturalistic treatment studies of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) remain largely unknown. We aimed to identify baseline and treatment-related prognostic predictors at 1-year follow-up after Integrative Care Practices (ICPs).

Methods: Eighty-nine preschool children with severe ASD were given ICP combining nine therapeutic workshops based on children's needs.
