Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a family support program helps Navajo parents and guardians of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental concerns. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is the program something families find useful and easy to take part in?
* Does the program raise parents' knowledge and confidence in using strategies that support their child's development?
* Does the program help children improve in areas such as social communication?

Researchers will compare two groups:

* One group of parents will join the program right away.
* The other group will join the program after waiting.

Participants will:

* Be randomly placed into the "immediate" or "waitlist control" group using simple randomization.
* Take part in sessions led by trained Navajo Family Advisors, who are parents of children with ASD.
* Learn and practice strategies they can use at home to support their child
* Answer surveys about their experience, knowledge, and their child's progress

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Immediate Group

Participants in this arm will begin the adapted parent training program right away. The program is delivered by trained Navajo Family Advisors who are parents of older children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parents/guardians of children ages 2-12 years with ASD or related developmental concerns will take part in group sessions that focus on learning and practicing evidence-based strategies to support their child's development and family well-being.

Participants in this arm will be placed on a waitlist and will not begin the program during the initial study period. After the waiting period, they will be offered the adapted parent training program delivered by trained Navajo Family Advisors.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
