What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a 12-week early intervention program designed to address social communication difficulties in young children with developmental disorders. The program targets children diagnosed with conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, neurogenetic disorders, or intellectual disability. The goal is to assess how well this program supports social skills in preschool-aged children. The intervention involves 12 hours per week of intensive treatment delivered either in a center-based preschool setting or at home. Over the 12-week period, children receive structured support tailored to their social communication needs. This program is being studied as a behavioral approach to improve developmental outcomes. Participants will be assessed before and after the 12-week program using parent-rated questionnaires that measure social responsiveness, repetitive behaviors, social dimensions, adaptive behavior, sensory profiles, and self-efficacy. These evaluations help researchers monitor changes in social communication and related behaviors. The total participation duration in the study is 12 weeks, with assessments at the start and end of the program.
