Abstract | Early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) may result in improved cognitive, adaptive and social functioning and reductions in autism severity and behavioral problems in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). For a subset of children, normal functioning may be the result. However, due to the intensity (20-40 h per week for 3 years with a low child staff ratio) implementation costs are high and can be controversial. Estimated costs for education, (supported) work and (sheltered) living for individuals with ASD in the Netherlands are applied in a cost-offset model. A compelling argument for the provision of EIBI is long term savings which are approximately 1,103,067 euros from age 3 to 65 years per individual with ASD. Extending these costs to the whole Dutch ASD population, cost savings of 109.2-182 billion euros have been estimated, excluding costs associated with inflation. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided). |
