This study is looking at a program called FANS-EI to help caregivers of young children with autism be more involved in their child's early intervention. FANS-EI uses text messages to provide social support to caregivers and their friends/family, along with educational materials. The goal is to see if FANS-EI, when added to regular early intervention, can improve how much caregivers participate. Researchers will also look at how much social support caregivers feel and their confidence in their abilities. This study is for children aged 12-60 months with an autism diagnosis or high likelihood of autism, and their caregivers. The study aims to enroll 28 participants, but its current status is unclear.
