Additionally, this study aimed to evaluate if change in therapy utilization differed based on child race, ethnicity, and primary payer of services. Finally, we aimed to identify potential mechanisms of ABA therapy disruption by interpreting findings using an extended version of Donabedian?s structure-process-outcome model. Methods: Retrospective clinical data on client demographics and therapy utilization (n=283) were collected from ABA clinics in California and analyzed with four piecewise growth multi-level models. Results: We found that therapy utilization dropped during the first three months of the pandemic (-10.65 h/month; p En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-023-05905-y Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=500 [article] The Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Therapy Utilization Among Racially/Ethnically and Socio-Economically Diverse Autistic Children [Texte imprimé et/ou numérique] / Cassin W.
