Summary

This pilot trial tests a culturally adapted parent training program for Navajo families of children with autism or developmental disabilities. About 29 parents will be randomly assigned to join the program right away or after a wait. The program is led by trained Navajo Family Advisors and teaches strategies to support child development. Researchers will measure whether the program is useful, increases parent knowledge, and improves children's social communication.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Diné Parents Taking Action Program (behavioral parent training)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could improve access to autism support for Navajo families and serve as a model for other Indigenous communities.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 29 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's effectiveness is still uncertain.
