2. Study Title: Shared moments: a parent-mediated, play based, joint attention intervention
3. Phase of Study: Intervention/data analysis
4. Population or age group: Children with ASD ages 3-6
5. Summary: This is a single subject multiple-baseline design across parent-child dyads to see if parents can be trained to successfully implement a naturalistic and behavioral joint attention intervention. Four parents intervened on response to joint attention behaviors in their young (3-5) children with ASD. Joint attention, or shared attention on an object or event with another person is a pivotal social communication skill often missed in children with ASD.
6. Opportunity for Participation: Not currently.
