Overview
The overarching goal of the autism research program is to improve understanding, education and treatment of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).
By participating in a research program, participants, with their families, can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available and help others by contributing to medical research.
Currently Enrolling Participants
A Parent-Mediated Telehealth Intervention for Insomnia in Young Autistic Children
We are currently looking for parents and children to participate in a study. This study will compare the benefits of sleep parent training (SPT) versus a structured parent education (SPE) program designed for improving sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Each participant may receive up to $125 payment and free sleep training for completing the study assessment.
- The study includes five online therapy sessions (60-90 minutes each) and various assessments over 10 weeks, with one follow-up assessment at 20 weeks for the SPT group. Participation will last up to 22 weeks.
- All research visits will occur online through an internet-based platform
- Assessment visits may last up to two hours.
- A possible benefit of this study is improvement in your child’s sleep and bedtime behaviors.
Eligibility
- Your child has a diagnosis of ASD.
- Your child is between the ages of 3 and 7.
- Your child is free of a significant health problem and is on stable medication.
