New treatment option for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Official title A Digital Health Parent-Training Intervention for Children With Social Communication Delays
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07551752
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Early intervention, during a time of optimal brain plasticity, is critical for autistic children to develop functional skills such as communication and daily living abilities. However, many families face barriers to accessing timely autism-specific services due to delays in autism diagnosis (which is often a prerequisite to autism-specific intervention), long waitlists, high costs, and the necessity to travel far distances to service providers.
