NCT ID NCT07494513

First seen Apr 08, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study will test a special language teaching method for infants aged 6-12 months who have an older sibling with autism. These infants are at higher risk for autism or language delays. The method encourages babies to look at their caregiver's mouth during play, which may help them learn to communicate better. Researchers will compare this approach to standard language teaching and measure changes in looking behavior, communication skills, and caregiver-child interaction.
