Trial of Center-Based Vs. In-Home Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) in Autism
Recruiting
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of a 16-week center-based Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT-C) versus home-based Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT-H) in targeting social communication deficits in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with significant language delay. The two groups will also be compared to a control group that consists of children who are receiving treatment as usual (TAU).

Neuroimaging Predictors of Improvement to Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) in Young Children with Autism
Recruiting
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a very heterogeneous disorder with limited empirically validated behavioral and biological interventions. The goal of this pilot investigation is to apply a biologically-based approach to identify predictors of treatment response in children with ASD who are receiving Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), an evidence-based behavioral intervention. Specifically, the investigators propose to identify neuroimaging biomarkers of treatment response to a PRT program (PRT-... Read More

Evaluating Pathways Mutual Gaze Protocol on Social Skills in Young Children Suspected of Autism
Recruiting
Purpose of the Study: The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if a technique called the "mutual gaze procedure," used in Pathways Early Intervention (Pathways), is the key to helping improve social communication, language, and everyday skills in young children (16-30 months old) who are at high risk for autism, particularly those from diverse cultural and language backgrounds. What Will Happen: Researchers will compare two versions of the Pathways Intervention: * Version 1: Includes mut... Read More
