Abstract
Although Early and Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) is an effective treatment for

many children with autism, there is a substantial individual difference in outcome. This

study was designed to investigate whether treatment gains were associated with the

number and type of stimuli that function as reinforcers for 21 preschool-aged children

with autism. Children with a large repertoire of socially mediated reinforcers benefited

more from treatment. Children with many stereotypic behaviors, assumed to be an effect

of a larger repertoire of automatic reinforcers, exhibited less benefit from treatment. These

two dimensions taken together explained 49.9% of the variation in treatment gains for

children after one year of EIBI. Due to the retrospective and indirect design of the study,

results are to be interpreted with caution
