Early Intervention and Social Decision-Making Skills in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Insights from Jordan

This mixed-methods study examined 119 mothers of children with ASD in Jordan, comparing social decision-making competencies (self-control, social awareness, group participation, problem-solving) between those who received early intervention services and those who did not. Children with early intervention history demonstrated significantly higher scores across all measured dimensions, with qualitative interviews providing contextual insights into these quantitative patterns.
