Abstract

A randomized feasibility trial of a parent coaching (PC) intervention was conducted across 16 community agencies in a Canadian province. Parents of toddlers with suspected autism were assigned to either a PC group (n = 24) or an enhanced community treatment (ECT) group (n = 25). PC participants received 24 weeks of coaching support from community service providers trained in the project. Children in both groups also received available community services and supplementary materials. PC children made significantly greater gains in word understanding and PC parents had significantly higher quality of life, satisfaction, and self-efficacy scores. Results are discussed in terms of the challenges of conducting feasibility studies in community settings and the lessons learned in the project.

In line with recommendations from autistic adults about the use of non-ableist language in research manuscripts (e.g., Bottema-Beutel et al., 2020), we refer to “autistic child” or “child on the autism spectrum” whenever possible, rather than “child with ASD” or “child with autism.” We also use “suspected autism, “suspected of having autism,” or “with increased likelihood of autism” instead of “at risk for autism” and we avoided use of “autism spectrum disorder: and “ASD” entirely.

Additional components of the project are summarized elsewhere, including the results of a community-based approach to parent coach training (Mirenda et al., 2021), a qualitative evaluation of factors affecting implementation (Smith et al., 2021); and a cost analysis (Tsiplova et al., 2021).
