Summary
This study tests whether teaching parents of children with autism special behavior support techniques can reduce challenging behaviors and lower parenting stress. About 80 families in South Punjab, Pakistan, will take part in an 8-10 week program. The goal is to see if this approach, adapted to local culture and languages, helps both children and caregivers.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a low-cost, culturally adapted way for families in South Punjab to manage autism-related challenging behaviors at home.
