IA Trial Summary
This trial will compare the effects of infant coaching on social and communication behaviors.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for infants aged 8-12 months who may be at risk for autism or developmental delays, and their caregivers. Infants must show certain signs of communication or social challenges. Caregivers should primarily speak English at home. Infants with hearing/visual impairments, genetic disorders, low birth weight/prematurity, or severe trauma are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a caregiver coaching program called Infant Achievements (IA) against a no-coaching education group (CE). It aims to improve how caregivers interact during play and enhance the infant's social and communication behaviors through direct comparison in a randomized controlled setup.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no typical side effects like those seen with medications. However, participation could impact family routines or stress levels.
