Interventions

  • Early Achievements- Parent Coaching Intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    Children, along with a caregiver, will be randomized into one of two conditions to receive parent coaching guided by NDBI principles.

Study Details

The primary objective of this research study is to improve outcomes involving core social-communication symptoms for young children with ASD or social communication delays by increasing access to clinically validated early behavioral intervention through a telehealth parent coaching model. The investigators will test the hypothesis that telehealth-delivered Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention parent coaching (TC) is non-inferior to in-person coaching (IPC) for the treatment of core social-communication symptoms in toddlers with either a social communication delay or ASD.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Telehealth Parent Coaching (TC)
    A family-centered, collaborative coaching approach, Practice-Based Coaching (Snyder et al., 2015), will be used. Coaches will use an NDBI coaching curriculum to support parents in targeting the child social-communication skills during interactions with their toddlers with ASD or social communication delays. The duration of the coaching period is 8-12 weeks with 2 sessions per week. Parents will be coached to implement NDBI strategies during daily routines with their young child with ASD or social communication delays following the coach and parent NDBI manuals developed in the primary principal investigator's lab. Trained study coaches will join families in their homes remotely via Kennedy Krieger Institute's secure Zoom password-protected account to provide coaching.
