Summary

This study will compare the effectiveness of two parent-based programs for helping young children at risk of autism.

Conditions

  • Autistic Disorder

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Early Social Interaction Project- PII

The PII is an intensive, individualized treatment that teaches parents how to support social communication skills in children with autism by embedding skills practice within everyday routines, activities, and places. Participants will have three 75-minute sessions weekly with study administrators for the first 7 months of the study. Participants will then have two sessions per week for the final 2 months of the study. Children will also practice socialization embedded in normal activities for 25 hours a week outside of study visits.

BEHAVIORAL

Early Social Interaction Project- IES

The IES intervention provides access to a support group meeting twice monthly for children with autism and their parents. The support group provides information to families and a playgroup where parents may practice intervention strategies under the supervision of study officials knowledgeable about autism spectrum disorders.
