Description
This subject recognises that the effectiveness of therapy interventions is indicated by the number and quality of studies that have been conducted into each intervention. Evidence-based research is expected to continue to inform therapeutic interventions over time. With the future of evidence based practice so assured, this subject prepares students into the theory and practice of evidence-based counselling and therapy across the lifespan and uses specific examples from autism research and therapy to demonstrate the application of the theory to practice.
