Summary

This study tests an 8-week online group program that teaches parents of young autistic children (ages 2-6) strategies to support their child's social communication and development. Parents attend weekly sessions and practice techniques at home. Researchers will measure changes in children's social communication skills and parents' psychological distress, and also check how satisfied parents are with the program.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Online group-based parent-mediated intervention (OYNA) - an 8-week program with weekly sessions, psychoeducation, coaching, and home practice.
What this could lead to: If successful, this could offer a scalable, accessible way to support young autistic children's social communication and reduce parental distress.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early study without a control group, so results may not be definitive. The online format may not suit all families, and benefits could vary.
