What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an E-Learning parental coaching program for parents of children aged 2 to 4 years diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The study focuses on three key areas: child development, parental competencies, and parent-child interaction. Participants will be divided into three groups to assess the differences in outcomes based on the type of coaching received.
