Summary

This trial is testing if siblings can help deliver an intervention to improve social and academic skills for children with ASD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who can imitate actions and vocalize, and their typically developing siblings who can read. Both should be able to follow instructions. It's not specified what would exclude someone from this study.
What is being tested?
The study tests a sibling-mediated intervention where the typically developing sibling uses a model-lead-test approach to improve the ASD child's reading and social skills, as well as their relationship.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an educational and behavioral intervention rather than a medical treatment, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be emotional or social impacts on either sibling.
