Comparing Behavioral Assessments Using Telehealth for Children With Autism

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder

In brief

The main purpose of this study is to determine the most efficient way for families to reduce problem behavior in their children with an autism spectrum disorder. Parents will be trained using telehealth to use applied behavior analysis (ABA) procedures to improve child behavior and communication. The study compares an established type of ABA assessment and treatment to a briefer, more streamlined version of this same type of assessment/treatment.
