Literature

1)  SCERTS is one of the few comprehensive approaches that has been tested in a randomized control trial (RCT) in young children and in natural settings, a type of research methodology that is able to isolate the predictive variable that led to the success of the children was the SCERTS intervention and not another approach or maturation.   Wetherby et al. (2014) . 

2)  The Classroom SCERTS Intervention grant data was published summer 2019.  This data demonstrates the positive impact of SCERTS within natural environments such as the classroom setting. The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committed (IACC) listed this study in its 2019 summary of research advances.  See page 17 of this link:  https://iacc.hhs.gov/publications/summary-of-advances/2018/summary_of_advances_2018.pdf?sfns=mo

3)  Naturalistic, Developmental Behavioral Interventions; another systematic review supporting the evidence of SCERTS in action.  This article is really helpful for explaining the difference between an ABA based approach and the importance of placing ABA into the context of a developmental framework. 

4)  Finally, a review of 122 children was published in Hong Kong in June in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disabilities, further demonstrating the effectiveness of the framework.
