Could anyone recommend a scientifically and financially valid study

of the cost benefit of EIBI, ABA and/or AVB vs. adult rehab and care.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Try:

In Behavioral Interventions, 1998, Volume 12 p 201-226 ( jacobson,

Mulick and Green), there is " EIBI Saves Up to $2,500,000 - Summary of

Cost Benefit Estimates for EIBI for Young Children with Autism " - hopefully

that will help you!

I can email it to you if you want - let me know!

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice,

but in practice, there is.
