What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a caregiver-mediated intervention using newly developed Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) video modules combined with clinician coaching. This study focuses on young autistic children or children with developmental disabilities aged 0 to 5 years and their caregivers, aiming to improve developmental and behavioral outcomes through accessible training methods. The study also involves clinicians certified as Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who provide coaching and supervision. Caregivers will participate in 10 weekly virtual or in-person sessions lasting about 30 minutes each. During these sessions, they will watch brief videos demonstrating NDBI strategies, discuss applying these strategies to their child, plan individualized homework, record practice videos with their child, and receive personalized feedback from clinicians. Clinicians also receive coaching to maintain intervention quality. Video recordings of sessions and caregiver-child interactions are securely stored and reviewed for fidelity. Participants will complete assessments before and after the intervention, including measures of child adaptive behavior, caregiver well-being, parenting confidence, and intervention satisfaction. These surveys are conducted online for convenience. After completing the sessions, caregivers may join interviews or focus groups to share their experiences. Data privacy and confidentiality are ensured through secure storage and de-identification of information. The entire study is conducted online to facilitate broad participation and data collection.
