Phase 3 — Testing in thousands of people, comparing the treatment against what doctors currently use. This is the last big step before approval.
This trial is testing whether parents can learn behavior management strategies for their children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who show challenging behaviors like self-injury or aggression. Researchers want to know if teaching these skills works just as well when delivered over video calls (telehealth) as it does when a therapist visits your home in person. You and your child would participate in 12 weeks of sessions with a trained clinician.
Many families struggle to find and access behavioral therapy for children with autism, especially in rural areas. This study aims to find out whether telehealth can make this proven treatment more accessible without sacrificing its effectiveness.
You and your child would participate in one-hour weekly sessions for 12 weeks. Your family would be randomly assigned to either receive coaching in your home with a clinician visiting in person, or through telehealth video calls — both approaches teach you the same skills to help manage your child's challenging behaviors. A clinician will work with you and your child at home to teach practical strategies you can use every day.
