Summary

This study tests whether a telehealth-delivered applied behavior analysis (ABA) program can improve care for autistic adolescents and young adults hospitalized due to severe challenging behaviors like aggression or self-injury. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard hospital care alone or standard care plus the TeleABA program, which includes behavior assessments, staff coaching, caregiver training, and post-discharge support. Researchers will compare changes in irritability, caregiver stress, and hospital experience to see if the program leads to better outcomes and a smoother transition home.
