First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a motor-sound speech therapy (PROMPT) to a play-based joint attention program (JASPER) helps minimally verbal children with autism (ages 4-7) say more words and combine them into phrases. 56 children will receive either JASPER alone or JASPER plus PROMPT for 12 weeks. Researchers will track their speech progress over a year to see which approach works better.
