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 GAINS Expert Guiding Technology, a smartphone or tablet app designed to help caregivers teach life skills to children with autism. The app uses proven behavior-coaching methods and guides caregivers step-by-step through therapy sessions, similar to how a GPS navigation system guides drivers. Researchers want to see if this technology makes it easier for caregivers to deliver effective therapy at home.
Teaching children with autism new life skills can be challenging for families and caregivers, especially without expert support in the moment. This trial exists to see whether the new treatment can make therapy sessions more effective and easier for caregivers to carry out.

You would use the GAINS app on your smartphone or tablet to guide therapy sessions with your child at home.

Behavior specialists will set up personalized tasks for your child in the app, and you'll follow along as the app coaches you through each session.
