This systematic review investigates the effects of various reading interventions and programs on reading skills in children and adults in the autism spectrum.
27 studies described the reading abilities of individuals with ASD and 31 examined reading intervention procedures
"There is not enough data about the duration of the intervention processes, specific characteristics of the participants before the intervention, training of the therapists in the area, specific material or resources used to allow hypotheses about better or more successful intervention methods" (p. 176) for promoting reading skills in children and adults on the autism spectrum.
