First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study tested whether teaching parents of 6-month-old infants at risk for autism how to support their child's social communication could improve development. About 269 families participated, with some receiving a web-based guide and others usual care. For infants showing early signs of autism at 12 months, the study compared parent-led versus clinician-led therapy. The goal was to see if early, low-cost support could reduce autism symptoms and boost communication skills.
