Project Description:

This study is designed to test methods for improving access to function-based behavioral treatment for young children with ASD. The proposed project is designed to extend telehealth consultation to home settings and to use a randomized controlled trial to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of providing applied behavior analysis interventions via in-home telehealth. The study will also examine the costs of providing this intervention as well as identify key family characteristics that influence successful behavioral outcomes for parents raising children with ASD.
