Summary
Mental Imagery Therapy for Autism (MITA) is a highly innovative adaptive language therapy application for children with autism. MITA exercises are limitless in variations, therefore avoiding routinization. Each activity is dynamic, quickly adjusting to the child's exact ability level. All activities are disguised as games that engage children. A 3-year observational clinical study of 6,454 children with ASD demonstrated that children who engaged with MITA showed 2.2-fold greater language improvement than children with similar initial evaluations (p\<0.0001). This study explores MITA intervention in a randomized controlled trial of 60 children with ASD. Two- to five-year-old ASD children will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The MITA group will supplement their conventional language therapy with MITA exercises. The control group will receive treatment-as-usual. The hypothesis is that the MITA group will show greater improvement in developmental milestones.
