NCT ID NCT06666777

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a speech therapy that involves parents can improve early social and communication skills in children aged 6 months to 5 years with neurodevelopmental disabilities. One group gets the parent-focused therapy, while the other gets standard speech therapy. Researchers will compare changes in social skills, language development, and parenting behaviors after eight weekly sessions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioral intervention (parent-involved speech therapy focusing on early social and communication skills)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a better way to help children with neurodevelopmental disabilities develop early social and communication skills, potentially improving their long-term language and interaction abilities.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The intervention is behavioral, so effects may be modest and hard to measure.
