Telehealth Parent-Implemented Intervention for Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
{ "Telehealth Parent Coaching for Young Children with Autism", "This study is looking at a new way to deliver support to young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. It tests a program called Early Achievements- Parent Coaching Intervention, which uses telehealth (like video calls) to coach parents. The goal is to see if this telehealth coaching is as effective as in-person coaching in helping children improve their social communication skills. You might be able to join if your child is between 18 and 42 months old and has an ASD diagnosis based on specific tests like the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) or the DSM-5 criteria. The study will measure how long children can focus on shared activities (joint attention) and how well parents use the coaching techniques after 8-12 weeks. The study plans to enroll 188 participants, but its current status is unclear.", "design": "This is an interventional study where children and their caregivers will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: telehealth coaching or in-person coaching. The study aims to enroll 188 participants.", "commitments": "If eligible, your child will be randomized into one of two groups, each involving twice-weekly coaching sessions over 8-12 weeks. Participants will be reassessed at the end of this period.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Children's joint attention and parent fidelity will be measured at 8-12 weeks after starting the intervention.", }

What this trial measures
- Child Duration of Joint Attention8-12 weeks
10 minute caregiver/child play samples will be coded using an engagement coding schema. The schema differentiates different levels of engagement. This data will be used to compare duration of engagement states at pre- and post-testing.
- Parent Fidelity of Implementation8-12 weeks
Parent fidelity of implementation will be coded from the parent-child interaction sample obtained within the home at baseline and post-intervention by trained (to reliability) research assistants blind to group membership and timing of sample. This form consists of 26-items, where each item is rated using a 3-point Likert-type scale. Items reflect the key elements of Natural Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI) which have been assessed in parent-implemented NDBI studies found to improve child social-communication outcomes. Ratings are based on effectiveness (well-timed, variety, developmental appropriateness) and frequency/consistency.
