NCT ID NCT06362733
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-week behavioral therapy program delivered via video calls to help autistic youth (ages 4-17) cope with insistence on sameness—difficulty tolerating changes in routine. Parents are trained to support their child during weekly sessions. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and reduces rigid behaviors. About 44 participants will take part.

Modified Pivotal Response Treatment (behavioral therapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, home-based therapy to reduce distress from changes in routine for autistic youth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 44 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy may not work for everyone.
