Preliminary Evidence for Associations Between Emotion Dysregulation and Therapy Participation in Young Autistic Children. Saunders, A., Mazefsky, C. A., & Northrup, J. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, January, 2026.
Paper doi abstract bibtex Participation in early intervention (EI) is associated with improved outcomes for autistic children (Berg et al. in 2024, J Autism Dev Disord, 5:3520–3529). Although emotion dysregulation (ED) is a common challenge in this population, it is rarely a primary target in EI, and the relationship between EI and ED is still unclear.
