Percentage of Patients Achieving Clinically Meaningful Progress on Outcomes. Legend: This figure shows the percentage of children achieving clinically meaningful progress on patient-centered outcomes and standard adaptive behavior outcomes in a sample of 154 children (3–17 years) receiving Applied Behavior Analysis for Autism Spectrum Disorder over 24 months. The threshold for clinically meaningful progress on adaptive behavior was a 2.0-point or higher increase on the Adaptive Behavior Composite of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales- Second Edition. The threshold for clinically meaningful progress in each of the five individualized patient goal domains (behavior reduction and target goals, expressive and receptive communication, pragmatic communication, self-help and daily living skills, caregiver participation and education) was meeting at least 50% of actively targeted goals, calculated at each timepoint
