Coaching parents to support autistic toddlers' social skills
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This program helps parents and caregivers learn ways to support their autistic toddler's communication and emotional skills through everyday play and routines. Over 12 weeks, a coach will work with you and your child, with follow-up three months after the program ends.
