Teaching young nonverbal children with autism useful speech : a pilot study of the Denver Model and PROMPT interventions . This single subject design study examined two models of intervention : Denver Model ( which merges behavioral , developmental , and relationship-oriented intervention ) , and PROMPT ( a neuro-developmental approach for speech production disorders ) . Ten young , nonverbal children with autism were matched in pairs and randomized to treatment . They received 12 1-h weekly sessions of therapy and daily 1-h home intervention delivered by parents . Fidelity criteria were maintained throughout . Eight of the ten children used five or more novel , functional words spontaneously and spoke multiple times per hour by the conclusion of treatment . There were no differences in acquired language skills by intervention group . Initial characteristics of the best responders were mild to moderate symptoms of autism , better motor imitation skills , and emerging joint attention skills .
