Following on from our announcements of results at our Milestone event, the psychologist’s involved within the project have summarised the results found:
“At the immediate follow-up, all 22 children improved on at least one measure. Of the 6 who improved on ADOS social interaction scores, 5 also improved on three or more other measures. Among the other measures, the most significant changes were seen in the number of facial expressions the children recognised. 4 out of six children maintained the changes in social interaction on the ADOS at 3 months post intervention with three showing maintenance at 9 months. All children maintained or showed increased changes in emotion recognition at follow up – between 5 months and 1 year after post intervention. The majority of children maintained these improvements at follow-up (between 5 and 12 months post intervention).”
