Autism Spectrum Disorder Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• Children between 4 and 10 years old who have already been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in their community, and whose diagnosis is confirmed using a standard autism assessment tool called the ADOS-2.
• Children who are able to speak in at least simple sentences on their own (not just when prompted), as the study involves learning and saying new words out loud.
• Children whose main language spoken at home is English.
• Children who pass a basic hearing screening at the start of the study.
• Children who score above 75 on a nonverbal thinking and reasoning assessment called the Leiter-3, which measures cognitive ability without relying on language.

Who may not be able to join:

• Children who are non-speaking or who are only able to speak very minimally, meaning they are not able to produce at least simple sentences on their own.
• Children who have a history of a neurological condition (such as cerebral palsy) or a known genetic condition that causes developmental delays or disorders.
• Children who have a hearing loss that has not been corrected (for example, with hearing aids or other treatment).

Important: Always verify eligibility with the trial site directly before applying.
