What this Trial Is About
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social communication and social interaction and the presence of restricted, repetitive behaviors. Atypical behaviors, conditioning, and difficulties interacting with others are emblems of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently affects receptive language skills essential for comprehension and communication. Early intervention is crucial for optimizing language outcomes. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigates the comparative efficacy of receptive language intervention (RLI) in group versus individual therapy settings for preschool children with ASD. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of receptive language intervention (RLI) in group versus individual therapy settings for preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) aged 3-5 years. The study aims to address the knowledge gap regarding optimal delivery methods for receptive language interventions. Twenty preschool children (ages 3-5) with ASD will be randomly assigned to either group (n=10) or individual (n=10) therapy conditions. Outcome measures will assess by Laura Mize Teach Me To Talk receptive language checklist, noted before therapy and after completing 20 sessions post-therapy (after 7 weeks). Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 20. An Independent t-test was utilized to see any difference between groups. The study's findings will inform evidence-based practice, enhancing receptive language skills in preschool children with ASD. The study could give precious perceptivity to clinicians, preceptors, and policymakers, helping them make informed, substantiation-based opinions about the most effective and doable intervention strategies. The expected outcomes include comparable receptive language outcomes between group and individual therapy, identification of setting-specific benefits and challenges, and child characteristics influencing treatment response.
