abstract: Acceleration of Autism interventional research is evident in high-income countries (HIC), however, remains limited in low-resource settings.

This brief communication discusses the prevailing challenges in low resource setting in designing and testing the efficacy of behaviour interventional model that is generalizable to primary care settings.
