Clinical Trial Summary

The project aims to develop and implement the Strategies for Toddler Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) with Remote-therapy (STAR) model for early toddlers with ASD in local community sites in Shanghai. It's a randomized control trial lasting 3 years. The children will be divided into 2 groups, one for STAR intervention group and the other for community intervention group. The STAR intervention group will be performed STAR other than community intervention.


Clinical Trial Description

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) brings enormous economic and emotional burdens to families and society with its ever-increasing prevalence. Early intervention has been proved as the key treatment to ASD. Along with increasing number of ASD children identified and diagnosed at early stage, the needs for effective early intervention are dramatically increasing. Though therapist-delivered intensive programs for toddlers yield substantive developmental gains, they tend to be costly and with extremely limited resource. The lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic brings even more obstacles for the children and families to get access to the resource of intervention. As such, the traditional intervention models are not fit for wide implementation within the Chinese public health systems and pandemic situation. To solve this dilemma, this project aims to develop and implement the Strategies for Toddler ASD with Remote-therapy (STAR) model for early toddlers with ASD in local community sites in Shanghai. To maximize the intervention effect, the intervention strategies in STAR model are designed under the Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) framework which are implemented in natural settings targeting at improving social and communicational capabilities. The structure of the STAR model is with 2 modules and 16 sessions. Module I derives from our previous offline parent-tutoring courses with 8 intervention strategy topics combining academic instruction and real child demonstration but modified into on-line version. Module II is designed specifically for long-term consolidation of parents' intervention skills containing 8 biweekly sessions of distance coaching with parents practicing intervention with their children in real time at home. ;
