Summary
This trial will study the effects of three interventions, Mind the Gap, Remaking Recess, and Self Determination Learning Model of Instruction, with and without the addition of an implementation strategy, UNITED.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for families with children aged 2 to 8 diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD), who haven't started ASD-specific services outside of school. Participants must speak English, Korean, or Spanish and have a family income below 250% of the federal poverty level. Peer navigators from community organizations serving children with ASD/NDD are also eligible.
What is being tested?
The 'Mind the Gap' intervention is being tested, which involves peer navigators helping parents understand how to access services for their child with ASD/NDD through up to 12 sessions over six months via phone or video conference. The effectiveness of additional implementation strategies will also be evaluated.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on educational and support interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience varying levels of stress or emotional impact related to navigating care systems.

Active Control
Group I: UNITEDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
UNITED is premised on the idea that successful implementation in organizations like schools and early intervention systems requires a team-based approach, in which the team is thoughtfully assembled, develops a plan for implementation, assigns roles and responsibilities, and carefully tracks and supports implementation and sustainment in all its stages within a few meetings and ongoing coaching from the research staff.
Group II: Implementation as Usual (IAU)Active Control1 Intervention
The organizations will implement Mind the Gap as usual. The research team will be available to provide support on the Mind the Gap intervention as needed.
