Bedtime stories for autism? Single-Child trial shows early gains
NCT ID NCT07670000
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether listening to special audio fairy tales before sleep can improve speech, motor skills, and independence in a child with autism and central auditory processing disorder. The child stays at home with their mother, avoiding clinic stress. Early results from this single participant suggest some improvements, but the study is too small to draw broad conclusions.
