NCT ID NCT07069413
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a telehealth program called tele-ImPACT for infants aged 6-24 months who have an older sibling with autism, putting them at higher risk for social communication delays or language disorders. The program teaches parents strategies to support their child's communication skills through 12 weeks of remote coaching. Researchers will measure changes in social communication and language abilities to see if early, accessible intervention can make a difference.
