PACT study
What are the aims of the PACT study?
The main aim of the PACT study is to evaluate whether the PACT treatment is effective in improving autism-specific symptoms. Secondary aims include ascertaining whether any improvement is due to specific aspects of parent-child communication targeted by the treatment, whether general language development is accelerated and whether children show improved adaptation in other settings, such as at school or nursery.
