Early Naturalistic Hands-on Autism Caregiver Training

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to pilot test the ENHANCE intervention to evaluate methodology, feasibility based on caregiver input, and preliminary caregiver satisfaction. The primary outcomes will be feedback from parents, participant completion/atrition rates, the interventionist study log, and interventionist/caregiver/fidelity. Second, we aim to examine preliminary impact of the naturalistic intervention on child social communication and repetitive behavior in order to estimate clinically meaningful change for future research studies.
