Summary

This trial tests an 8-week online coaching program that teaches parents of preschool autistic children how to use everyday interactions to boost their child's social communication. Families are randomly assigned to either the coaching program or a waitlist, and the study measures changes in children's communication skills and parental stress. The goal is to see if this parent-led approach can be an effective and accessible way to support early development.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Online group-based parent-mediated intervention based on Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) principles
What this could lead to
If effective, this online coaching program could offer a practical, scalable way for parents to boost their child's social communication skills during daily routines.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial, and results may not apply to all families. The program requires consistent parent participation, and its benefits beyond the study period are not yet known.
