Conclusions
QST massage for autism is an effective
sensory treatment for autism that reduces the
sensory disability, improves language, social
interaction and behavior, and reduces the
severity of autism overall.
It is effective in children with severe as well
as mild/moderate autism.
QST massage is a replicated, researchbased sensory treatment for autism that
reduces the severity of autism and should be
recommended by pediatricians and ECSE
programs at the time of autism. It should
replace non-research-based sensory
treatments.
