What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying a 12-week early intervention program designed for preschool children with developmental disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, neurogenetic disorders, or intellectual disability. The goal is to evaluate how this program helps improve social communication skills in these children by comparing changes in social responsiveness and related behaviors before and after treatment. The intervention involves 12 hours per week over 12 weeks, delivered either in an intensive center-based preschool setting or at home. This behavioral program focuses on structured activities aimed at addressing social communication deficits in young children with developmental disorders. Participants will be assessed at the start and end of the 12-week program using parent-rated questionnaires measuring social responsiveness, repetitive behaviors, social dimensions, adaptive behaviors, sensory profiles, and self-efficacy. The study tracks changes in these areas to understand the programs effects, with continued monitoring until the studys completion in 2034. Children and their families will engage regularly in the intervention and assessments during this period.
