| INTERVENTION | UNITED KINGDOM | RESEARCHSummary: The Department for Education and Employment (DFEE) in England and Wales commissioned and have now published (Jordon et al., 1988) an evaluative review of all major recent and current research into educational interventions for children with autism. The brief was not to make judgements on the approaches themselves, but to examine outcome research on these interventions and evaluate any claims of success. The further aim (taking work in progress in the UK and planned into account) was to identify where research evidence was in conclusive or missing and to suggest what further research was needed. The impetus for this concern in England and Wales has two sources. One is growth of parental exposure to claims from different therapies about their relative efficacy (through media reports and from advertisements and the views of other parents on the internet). The other source of concern results from the first in that made available in their locality and are using legislation to obtain these (often closely) services for their child. [AJ].
