Parent Video Feedback Intervention Study

Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title: Parent Feedback Intervention Study: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to use a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of parent coaching sessions using video-based feedback, compared to the sessions without the use of video-based feedback on parent strategy use.

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a randomized controlled trial of video-based feedback interventions for the parents of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In the beginning of the study, each participant will be randomized to the video-based feedback condition (treatment condition) or standard care procedure (control condition). All participants will be asked to implement the strategies taught during the sessions in the home environment (e.g., following the child's lead, sitting face-to-face). Participants randomized into the video-based feedback condition (treatment condition) will be asked to video-tape their interactions with their children (maximum 30 mins/week at home during free play, book reading, bath or meal time routines). The therapist then will review the tapes and then use the recorded sessions to give feedback on the parents' use of strategies in addition to providing in-vivo feedback based on the live interactions during the sessions. For parents whose children are randomized into the standard care condition, the families will receive coaching based on in-vivo sessions as described above. For all participants, a battery of assessment (diagnostic, developmental testing), will be administered at the beginning of the study participation, in the mid-point at 3 months, at the end of their 6-month participation of treatment sessions, and then at the follow-up period, 6 months after the end of their participation of the treatment sessions. ;
