b. Yes, but not as much as in adults; the meta-analyses that have examined this have shown reliably smaller effect sizes for children than adults.
c. Yes, with effect sizes comparable to effect sizes for adults; this indicates that efficacy is similar for children and adults.
d. Yes, but what we don’t know is how well children without therapy would have fared; a controlled experiment still needs to be conducted.
