What this study is about

This trial is testing if a technique called the mutual gaze procedure, used in Pathways Early Intervention (Pathways), helps improve social communication, language, and everyday skills in young children (16-30 months old) who are at high risk for autism. Researchers will compare two versions of the Pathways Intervention: one that includes mutual gaze strategies and another that does not.
