This Efficacy and Follow-up project tests the effects of Project ImPACT, a naturalistic development behavioral intervention (NDBI) for young children with autism and their families implemented within the public early intervention system. Project ImPACT for Toddlers was adapted by a community-academic collaborative to meet the needs of providers, families, and funding agencies and be feasible for community agencies. Through a randomized wait-list-control design, the effects of Project ImPACT will be examined on provider, parent, and child outcomes including provider and parent fidelity, parent responsiveness, and child social-communication and adaptive skills.
