First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether telehealth tools can help families concerned about autism in their infants. Researchers are testing an online assessment tool and a set of video modules that teach parents strategies to support their child's communication. 80 families will be randomly assigned to get the modules right away or later, and researchers will measure parent stress and confidence after 12 weeks.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that telehealth tools effectively support families of children with autism, reducing wait times and improving access to care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all families. The intervention is educational, not a medical treatment, so benefits may be modest.
