Community-based Adaptive Autism Intervention for Toddlers

JASPER is a developmentally anchored behavioral intervention that assumes that communication develops from social interactions in which specific social engagement strategies, symbolic representations, and early communication forms are modeled and naturally reinforced by the adult's responses to the child. The adult referred in this condition is the TA.

"JASPER Plus+ refers to direct instruction of social communication targets of pointing to share, showing gesures, and give to share gestures, and play targets at the child's target play level.~JASPER Plus+ will occur at a table top with repeated trials of instruction until the child can produce the desired behavior on their own."
