This study wanted to identify modifiable early intervention factors that are associated with better outcomes and possible high-risk groups of children who are at risk of poorer outcomes. Participants included 193 children aged between 5 and 12years of age whose parents provided information on their family background and early intervention characteristics. These children also had their adaptive behaviour skills examined by formal testing. Results indicated that shorter wait time for early intervention was associated with better adaptive behaviour scores. Children from families with financial difficulties and lower paternal education were also at risk of poorer adaptive skills. Designing services for children with autism such that wait times to enter early intervention services are minimised following initial diagnosis can improve their eventual functional outcomes. Changes in healthcare policy to allow expedited entry or targeted intervention to children from low socio-economic status families can also enhance their eventual adaptive skill gains.
