Modified Pivotal Response Treatment for Insistence on Sameness in Autistic Youth
This study is testing a 12-week program called Modified Pivotal Response Treatment for Insistence on Sameness in Autistic Youth. This program aims to help young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who have difficulty with changes in routine (insistence on sameness). The treatment involves parents learning strategies and working with their child, and it's delivered online through a secure platform. Researchers want to see if this program is practical, acceptable, and effective. They will measure changes in insistence on sameness over time. Children aged 4 to 17 years old with an ASD diagnosis can join. The study plans to enroll 44 participants.
