Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study will obtain preliminary data about the impact of wearable electronic tracking devices (ETDs) as an intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who wander. The feasibility of all study procedures and the acceptability of the intervention will be evaluated.


Clinical Trial Description

Wandering, or elopement, is a life-threatening behavior that has been reported to occur in a third of all children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Wearable electronic tracking devices (ETDs) that are able to pinpoint a child's location have emerged as an appealing intervention for families concerned about wandering risk. However, the impact of ETD use on the families of children who wander has never been studied prospectively. In this pilot study, parents will be provided with a commercially-available ETD to use for their child with ASD for 6 weeks. Preliminary data will be obtained to evaluate the impact of ETD use on the strain experienced by families due to their child's wandering behavior. The feasibility of all study procedures will be assessed in preparation for a larger subsequent trial. ;
