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 brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to help children with autism who have difficulty with language. Researchers will use personalized brain imaging to target the language areas in each child's brain, then apply the stimulation 3 times per day for 12 weeks alongside speech therapy. About half the children will receive active stimulation while the other half receive a sham (fake) stimulation to compare results.
Many children with autism struggle with language development, but current treatments don't always help enough. While this stimulation technique has shown promise in helping adults recover language after stroke, researchers want to see if it can also help children with developmental language delays.

If your child is accepted into the trial, you would bring them to the clinic 5 days a week for 12 weeks. Each day, your child would receive 3 sessions of brain stimulation (about 50 minutes apart) along with speech therapy. The stimulation itself is painless and non-invasive. Your child will have brain imaging scans and language assessments at the start, after 12 weeks, and again at 24 weeks to measure progress.
