First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a speech-focused therapy (PROMPT) to a play-based therapy (JASPER) helps minimally verbal children with autism speak more words and combine them into phrases. Fifty-six children aged 3.5 to 5.5 years who use fewer than 20 words will receive either play therapy alone or play plus speech therapy for 12 weeks. Researchers will track their language growth over a year to see which approach works better.
