Summary

This study compares two well-known early autism treatments, ESDM and PRT, to see which one helps young children with autism improve their communication skills the most. About 140 children aged 2 to 4 years 11 months will be randomly assigned to one of the two therapies for 24 weeks. The goal is to find out which children benefit most from each approach, helping families choose the best treatment.
