Faster autism diagnosis training for doctors
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a training program that helps doctors and nurse practitioners diagnose autism more quickly in young children. If you join, your practice may be trained to do autism evaluations in less time, potentially speeding up diagnosis for families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a physician or nurse practitioner.
- Your practice currently screens children for autism at 18 and 24 months using a standard screening tool.
- You are willing to be randomly assigned to either receive training right away or later (waitlist control).
- You will ask parents for permission for research staff to contact them if their child has a positive autism screen or concern.
- You will attend all training, complete course requirements, and fill out study questionnaires.
- If you receive training, you will keep a log of the diagnostic evaluations you perform during the study.

This study compares an early autism opinion made by a community general pediatrician with a more detailed team assessment. It may help improve how families get autism evaluations sooner and more accurately.
This study tests a computerized “cognitive remediation” program adapted for people with autism, using social scenarios and skills. The goal is to improve thinking and related day-to-day abilities by practicing structured tasks on a screen.
This study tests whether telehealth (video visits) can help families get faster access to autism evaluation and support. A coach will work with you and your child over 12 weeks to help navigate care and teach strategies at home.
This trial tests whether a parent-led program (with PACT) can improve autism-related symptoms in children. It focuses on giving parents structured support, and it compares outcomes after families complete the program.
This study tests an online training program for parents of young children with autism to help improve their child's communication skills. The training is done at home over video calls, so you don't need to travel to Stanford.
This study tests whether a tablet/computer app can reliably spot early autism signs in toddlers. If it works well, it could help families and clinicians screen sooner and more accurately.
