Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 3 to 5 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who show challenging behavior daily. It's also for their English-speaking parents or caregivers, who can manage these behaviors safely and commit to a 12-week treatment program.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if parent-mediated behavior therapy for kids with ASD can work just as well over telehealth as it does in person. Parents will be trained to help manage their child's challenging behaviors.
What are the potential side effects?
