Eye tracking and autism in children born early
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple eye-tracking technique can help identify autism in young children who were born before 37 weeks. It aims to make autism testing easier and earlier, which could lead to better support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses eye tracking technology to help detect early signs of autism in young children during regular health checkups. It may help identify children who could benefit from early support.
This trial checks how 8- to 10-month-old babies visually engage with people, which may help screen for autism risk earlier. It may help by improving early identification, especially for families who want screening done in a research setting.
This study tests whether doctors can screen young children for autism risk using video visits instead of in-person appointments. It aims to make early autism screening faster and more accessible through Georgia's early intervention program.
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.
This program offers early support for children aged 16 to 48 months who are waiting for an autism evaluation. It focuses on providing helpful strategies and activities while families wait for a formal diagnosis.
This study looks at an “early diagnostic response” approach for toddlers who screen high-risk for autism. It aims to help families get timely follow-up and evaluation based on screening results.
