What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a caregiver-mediated intervention that incorporates Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) modules along with clinician coaching. Caregivers of young children diagnosed with autism or developmental delays will receive training through video modules and participate in weekly coaching sessions with Board Certified Behavior Analysts. The study aims to improve the implementation of NDBI strategies in everyday interactions between caregivers and children. Recruitment will occur across the United States and Korea, utilizing various community outreach methods.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include primary caregivers of children aged 0-5 with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay, or developmental disability.
Not a fit: Patients who may not benefit include caregivers of children over the age of 6 or those without a formal diagnosis of the specified conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could enhance developmental outcomes for young autistic children by empowering their caregivers with effective strategies.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with caregiver-mediated interventions, indicating potential for success with this approach.
