By conducting a comprehensive review of experimental trials, we will identify the programs available to families of autistic children. We will then extract information from treatment manuals about: specific skills targeted, intervention elements, strategies taught to caregivers, and educational methods employed. Our goal is to uncover similarities and differences across program elements and delivery. Currently, there is a lack of understanding about which strategies work best for fostering autistic children’s communication skills. Better understanding the common and distinct elements across the various caregiver-mediated social communication interventions for young autistic children would help the clinical and scientific communities begin to gain better clarity on how these approaches are delivered, and support clinicians to better understand which programs might be best suited for which children, families, and goals.
