Summary

This study tests whether an online Spanish course can teach parents of young children with autism to use Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) to boost communication and social skills. Forty Spanish-speaking families with children aged 2 to 5 will take 12 weeks of online lessons, attend virtual check-ins, and submit videos of their interactions. The goal is to make effective autism support more accessible to families facing language, location, or cost barriers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) training
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an accessible, online tool for Spanish-speaking families to support their child's language and social development at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all families. The training requires consistent parent involvement, and improvements may vary.
