The UCSB Autism Center is recruiting families who have a child with an existing diagnosis of autism and use of single words only or nonverbal (ages 12-54 months) to participate in a research study. The project focuses on evaluating an app-based program to train parents in a play-based and research-backed autism intervention known as Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT). PRT focuses on harnessing your child’s motivation and interests to develop their language and communication. The app will seek to teach parents PRT through 8 weekly lessons that you can complete at home. Families that qualify and participate in the study will be compensated up to $90 for their participation.
