Summary

This study looks at the best age (9, 12, or 15 months) to start a special coaching program for infants who have a higher chance of developing autism because they have an older sibling with autism. About 140 infants from low-income families in Los Angeles will be monitored and some will receive parent coaching. The goal is to see which starting age leads to the best language and communication skills by the time the child turns 2.
