Insufficient Efficacy and Evidence Basis
A systematic review of randomized controlled trials of AIT found insufficient evidence to support its use; no significant adverse effects were reported.
Several professional organizations state that AIT should be considered experimental: these include the American Academy of Audiology, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Educational Audiology Association. After reviewing the available research, the New York State Department of Health concluded that AIT's efficacy had not been shown, and recommended that it not be used to treat young children with autism.
