Project Element	Element Description
Project Title Project Title	Efficacy of a Comprehensive Scool-Based Intervention for Children with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (HFASDs)
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Lopata, Christopher
Description Description	This project will use a cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a comprehensive school-based intervention (CSBI) on the outcomes of elementary school children with HFASD. Compared to a control group, students with HFASD who complete the CSBI are hypothesized to demonstrate significantly greater social-communicative understanding, fewer ASD symptoms, better social skills, higher rates of peer interactions, and greater academic achievement. In addition, the potential mediating role of fidelity of implementation and moderating role of IQ and language level will be examined.
