NCT02184390

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and user satisfaction with a web-based interactive tutorial for caregivers of young children with autism designed to a) teach parents how to promote their child's development in the core deficit areas, b) help parents understand and improve challenging behaviors their child may demonstrate, and c) reduce caregiver stress through more effective interactions. It emphasizes everyday situations as opportunities for learning, including common home routines and contains videotaped illustrations of parents using the techniques taught in the home environment.
