Umbrella Review of Psychosocial Interventions Mediated through Assistive Technology for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
DownloadFall 2017
Aim: In the past 20 years, a large body of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) intervention research has emerged. In addition, the number of systematic reviews (SRs) aimed at synthesizing that body of research has grown substantially. The present umbrella review collates information from multiple...
