    Author: Harris SL, Handleman JS, Kristoff B, Bass L, Gordon R.
    Journal: J Autism Dev Disord; 1990 Mar; 20(1):23-31. PubMed ID: 2324053.
    Abstract:
    Five young children with autism enrolled in a segregated class, five other children with autism in an integrated class, and four normally developing peer children in the integrated class were compared for developmental changes in language ability as measured by the Preschool Language Scale before and after training. The results, based on Mann-Whitney U tests, showed that (a) all of the children as a group made better than normative progress in rate of language development, (b) the scores of the autistic children were significantly lower than the peers before and after treatment, and (c) there were no significant differences in changes in language ability between the autistic children in the segregated and integrated classes.
