This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new approach called the Family-School Partnership Intervention (FSPI) designed to help children with social-communication difficulties — including those with autism — learn better through teamwork between teachers and parents. The program trains preschool teachers to work closely with families, teaching them simple, practical strategies to use during everyday activities like play, reading, snack time, and chores. The goal is to help children develop communication skills in ways that feel natural and happen in the moments they matter most.
Many young children struggle with communication and social skills, but we know that when teachers and parents work together using proven teaching methods, children learn better. This research is testing whether this partnership approach actually works and whether preschools can realistically use it as part of their normal programs.

If your child is selected, their teacher will invite you to join three playgroup meetings during the school year. At each meeting, the teacher will show you simple strategies to try at home during everyday activities with your child, and you'll practice these together. Researchers will observe these sessions and ask you about your experience to see if the program works well and feels helpful to families.
