Summary

This study tests a toolkit called PEACE, designed to help early intervention providers coach parents of young children with autism. Researchers will enroll 200 providers and 400 parent-child dyads to see if the toolkit improves how providers support families. The goal is to make caregiver coaching more effective and accessible, especially for families from marginalized backgrounds.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: PEACE Online Resources (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a proven toolkit to help early intervention providers better coach parents of children with autism, potentially improving child development and family well-being.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage implementation study, not a treatment trial. It tests a coaching method, not a medical intervention, so direct health benefits are uncertain. Results may not apply outside Philadelphia.
