Summary

This study tests whether a structured parent training program can reduce autism symptoms in children up to age 5 and high-risk infants under 2. 250 children and their caregivers will be randomly assigned to receive either the training plus routine care, or routine care alone. After 12 weeks, researchers will measure changes in autism severity, child development, and caregiver stress and quality of life.
