Summary

This trialis developing a telemedicine tool to improve access to ASD diagnosis for underserved groups, such as those with long waitlists or long distances to care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for preschool children aged 36-72 months who may have autism. It's open to English or Spanish-speaking families with access to a device that supports Zoom. The study includes kids both previously evaluated for autism and those not yet assessed.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the TAP-Preschool, a new telemedicine tool designed to assess the risk of autism in preschoolers remotely. It compares results from this tool with traditional in-person assessments to see if it can improve care access.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves assessment tools rather than medication, there are no direct physical side effects expected. However, participating families might experience stress or anxiety related to the use of technology and concerns about their child's development.
