Summary

This trial will study how best to sequence two interventions for parents, to improve communication and reduce disruptive behavior. #Study

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young children aged 18 to 48 months who are on the autism spectrum, as indicated by specific research criteria. They should not have other diagnoses or disabilities, must have normal vision, and be exposed to English at least half of the time. A caregiver must be willing and able to learn intervention strategies and understand conversational English.
What is being tested?
The study aims to find the best order for two parent-led interventions: one that improves social communication (Project ImPACT) and another that addresses disruptive behavior (Parent Training). It will also look into factors influencing how well these treatments work.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be variations in individual responses to therapy sessions.
