Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a family support program helps Navajo parents and guardians of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental concerns. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is the program something families find useful and easy to take part in?
* Does the program raise parents' knowledge and confidence in using strategies that support their child's development?
* Does the program help children improve in areas such as social communication?

Researchers will compare two groups:

* One group of parents will join the program right away.
* The other group will join the program after waiting.

Participants will:

* Be randomly placed into the "immediate" or "waitlist control" group using simple randomization.
* Take part in sessions led by trained Navajo Family Advisors, who are parents of children with ASD.
* Learn and practice strategies they can use at home to support their child
* Answer surveys about their experience, knowledge, and their child's progress
