Interest in toys predicts autism treatment`s effectiveness in toddlers

Interest in toys predicts autism treatment`s effectiveness in toddlers: "A new study has found that toddlers with autism who played with a limited number of toys showed more improvement in their communication skills following parent-guided treatment than those receiving other community-based treatments.
The study is the first to examine this autism treatment - called Hanen's More Than Words - for children younger than 2 showing early signs of an autism spectrum disorder."
