Telehealth Parent-Implemented Intervention to Improve Social- Communication Outcomes in Young Children With ASD
Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc.
Summary
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.
