Telehealth or in-home parent training for kids with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of helping parents manage challenging behaviors in young children with autism: coaching by video (telehealth) or coaching in the home. It may help reduce self-injury or aggression by teaching caregivers practical behavior strategies over 12 weeks.
