T-ABA Group Based Early Intervention For Parents of Children With ASD

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Autism

In brief

This study is a 10-week, randomized, parallel groups design which will evaluate the efficacy of T-ABA with combined parent training and individual child sessions versus T-ABA with individual sessions alone. T-ABA refers to Targeted Applied Behavior Analysis treatment, a form of behavior therapy used to promote skill development and reduce disruptive behavior in individuals with autism. Four key outcome assessment points will be used: baseline (week 0), midpoint (week 5), end-of-study (week 10), and follow-up (week 20). Participants receiving T-ABA parent training only will be offered eight individual therapy sessions at the end of the study. Total study participation is estimated to be \~ 10 weeks with a single follow-up assessment.
