NCT ID NCT07185737
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a version of the RUBI parent training program that has been adapted for Spanish-speaking families of autistic children aged 2 to 9. About 120 parents will join eight online group sessions to learn practical strategies for managing challenging behaviors. Researchers will measure changes in child behavior, parent stress, and confidence to see if the program helps.
