Summary

This trial is for parents of children with autism, aged 1-5, to see if parent coaching and family navigation can reduce stress and increase referrals for early intervention and language skills.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for parents of children aged 1-5, recently diagnosed with autism, who are Hispanic/Latino, Black/African-American or have Medi-Cal insurance in certain California counties. It's not for non-legal guardians or foster parents of children without an autism diagnosis.
What is being tested?
The study tests a program called Project AFECT that aims to empower and coach families after an autism diagnosis. It will assess if this coaching reduces parental stress, improves confidence, speeds up referrals to services and enhances language skills in the children.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational and support interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional physical side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience emotional or psychological responses to the coaching process.
