ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their parents through a method called Interactive Guidance Therapy with video feedback. The aim is to see how this approach can improve the interactions between parents and their children, who are between 18 months and 3 years old. To be eligible, children must have a diagnosed condition of ASD and be able to interact at a developmental level of over 12 months. It's important that one parent, who is involved in daily life with the child, participates directly in the therapy sessions.

Participants in this study can expect to take part in play sessions where they will receive guidance and feedback through video recordings. This can help them learn new ways to communicate and engage with their child. Both parents will need to provide their consent for the child to participate, and the trial is currently looking for families to join. If you think you might be eligible and are interested, it could be a great opportunity to support your child’s development in a meaningful way.
