Evaluate the drafted changes
Based of what has been done up until now I would say adding citations would not hurt. We are still adding information to our articles, but one or two citations added would have been good. Taking a look at the original article, I would considered restructuring the lead section. It gives a lot of information that could easily be broken down into different sections in the body paragraphs. The article mention the role of discrete trial teaching (DTT) and another form of early intervention, but another form of intervention you might consider adding is called natural environment teaching (NET). It is just as effective as DTT but it is use a natural environment to teach non-neurotypical childs certain skills as part of their daily routine. NET is highly favorable because it is teaching in the midst of doing activities that are age appropriate. Another aspect that might be helpful to add is occupational therapy. Along with a lot of the added symptoms, motor disabilities are something that needs to be worked on. Adding this before or after the communication intervention would be a good placement.

{ Before reading your review, I had been doing some research on NET and I will definitely add it to my article because I feel as if it is just as important as the other therapies. For my draft, I kept it short, but I do plan on expanding more on each topic and adding in others. Thanks!}
