Summary

The specific objectives of this project are to conduct a randomized control trial to examine the effect of a novel, telehealth parent training intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ImPACT Online, on parent and child outcomes. The investigators will compare the benefits of the self-directed and therapist-assisted delivery formats, and examine moderators and mediators of treatment outcomes. The investigators anticipate that both the self-directed and therapist-assisted models of ImPACT Online will be effective methods for teaching parents to use evidence-based intervention strategies and for increasing parent self-efficacy compared to a web-based information control group. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. One-third of participants will be in the therapist-assisted group; one-third will be in the self-directed group; and one-third will be in a web-based information control group.

BEHAVIORAL

ImPACT Online

ImPACT Online is an interactive, web-based telehealth intervention that teaches parents to promote their child's social-communication skills during play and daily routines. The intervention content was adapted from Project ImPACT, a manualized parent training curriculum that uses a blend of developmental and naturalistic behavioral intervention techniques, including following the child's lead, imitating the child, using heightened animation, using simplified language around the child's focus of attention, environmental arrangement strategies, prompting, and natural reinforcement during child-directed activities. There is strong empirical support for the intervention techniques for increasing social communication in children, increasing parent fidelity, and child language skills.
