Summary

This study tests whether a safe, low-level brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help children with autism who are not making enough progress in their learning programs. The study will involve 24 children aged 5 to 12 who are already in behavioral therapy. They will receive tDCS alongside their usual therapy to see if it improves thinking skills and reduces autism symptoms.
