Abstract
An information processing assessment of mental ability coupled with a conventional test of development can identify normal intelligence in c hildren with pervasive developmental disorder and autism. A variety of measures indicate that a treatment program designed to foster complia nt behavior, first with actions and then with words, can result in sub stantial ''catch-up'' in the majority of children with intact informat ion processing ability.
