Summary

This study tests whether a group-based behavioral program, where caregivers are actively involved, can help autistic preschoolers improve social communication, play skills, and daily adaptation. The program is compared to one-on-one therapy. Researchers will measure changes in autism symptoms, cognitive function, and parent stress. The goal is to see if this group approach is feasible and effective.
