This study is testing a new behavioral training program called Emergent Multi-Class Imitation Training (EMIT) for young children with autism spectrum disorder. The goal is to help children learn to imitate actions and sounds more easily. You might be able to join if you are a child aged 12 months to 6 years old, have an autism diagnosis, and meet specific criteria related to your current imitation skills. The researchers will measure how well participants perform imitation tasks to see if EMIT is successful. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 25 participants.
