Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial enrolls 30 children aged 5–11 with high-functioning autism and sensory processing difficulties, excluding those with other neurological conditions, physical disabilities, or current use of hypnotic/sedative medications. Participants are assigned to an experimental group that receives 12 SIT sessions over four weeks (three 45-minute sessions per week) or to a control group that receives no intervention, with pre- and post-intervention measurements. Outcomes include repetitive behavior, communication, social interaction, and motor skills measured using the RBQ-2 and GARS-2, and data will be analyzed using SPSS v23. The study uses a small pre-post comparison between groups to look for changes after the intervention.
