LEAP and Autism Ranking: Limited positive evidence

Audience

LEAP was designed for pre-school children aged three to five, some of whom are autistic and some of who are not. For example, according to the Watson Institute (2010),

“Typically developing children age 3-5 who have no need for early intervention services are an integral component of LEAP Preschool. The curriculum is developmentally appropriate, helping to prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.” This is because LEAP “focuses on enhancing the skills of children with autism through interaction and play with typically-developing peers.”
