ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how autistic children can learn important daily living skills, like dressing, cooking, and personal hygiene, using two different methods: video modeling with QR codes on an iPad versus traditional training with a human instructor. The goal is to see if using technology can help these children become more independent and improve their quality of life.
To participate in this study, children need to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and have an IQ below 80. They also need to show certain skills in imitation and visual performance. If eligible, participants can expect to learn useful skills in everyday situations while being supported by either video instructions or hands-on guidance. The study aims to find out which method works better for helping these children become more self-sufficient.
