Parent-led social skills program for children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a parent-led program can help children with autism improve social understanding. If you join, you will learn to use play-based activities at home with your child, with support from a clinician.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2.5 and 14 years old (we are especially looking for ages 3 to 10).
- Your child has a confirmed autism diagnosis from a specialist.
- Your child has an IQ score of 70 or higher (a measure of thinking and learning ability).
- Your child can talk well enough to join in structured play activities.
- You (the parent or guardian) live with your child and can attend a one-time training session at our center (about 2.5 hours).
- You can do the program with your child for at least 30 minutes each day for 6 months, and join monthly video check-ins.
