NCT ID NCT07623759

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study will test whether autism can be diagnosed in toddlers (16-36 months) using a telehealth protocol, instead of an in-person visit. Researchers will enroll 100 children from Georgia's early intervention program who are at moderate or high risk for autism. The goal is to see how many assessments can be completed remotely and how confident clinicians feel about the diagnosis.
