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 whether a parent-focused intervention program called tele-ImPACT can help very young children develop better communication and language skills before problems emerge. The study focuses on toddlers aged 6–24 months who have an older sibling with autism, since these younger siblings are at higher risk of developing autism or language delays themselves. Researchers want to know if teaching parents specific strategies early on can make a real difference in how these children's language and social skills develop.
Many younger siblings of autistic children end up with similar developmental challenges, but most interventions wait until problems are obvious. This study exists because early, preventive help may work better—and the research team wants to figure out exactly when to start, what works best, and whether families actually stick with the program.

If you're assigned to the intervention group, you and your child will receive 12 weeks of the tele-ImPACT program, likely delivered remotely so you can participate from home. You'll learn specific strategies to use with your child during everyday routines to support their communication and language development. If you're in the comparison group, you'll continue with whatever community services or care you're already using, and researchers will compare how both groups of children develop over time.
