Summary

This study aims to find the best way to sequence two parent-led therapies for young children with autism: one focused on social communication and another on disruptive behavior. Researchers will enroll 184 children aged 18-48 months and their caregivers to compare different therapy sequences. The goal is to improve child social communication and reduce disruptive behaviors while also measuring family life impact.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
parent-mediated behavioral interventions (social communication and disruptive behavior training)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a clear roadmap for parents and clinicians on which therapy to start with and when to switch, improving outcomes for children with autism.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial with 184 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The interventions require significant parent time and effort, and not all families may see the same benefits.
