At the orientation session, the SLP provides an overview of the program, and provides the parent with two assessment forms to complete (i.e., parent report measures of their child's social communication and communicative participation). At the pre-program consultation, the SLP conducts an informal assessment of the child's communication and records a video of the parent-child interaction. Parents and SLPs co-develop communication goals based on the child's social communication needs and ability. During group training sessions, parents learn support strategies to target goals (e.g., joining a child's idea in play, rather than directing the play; using gestures and animated facial expressions to get the child's attention).",[13],"Behavioral: The Hanen Centre's More Than Words® program",{"label":15,"type":16,"description":17,"interventionNames":18},"Waitlist Control Group (WCG)","NO_INTERVENTION","The WCG will be in a waiting period for three months, after which they will receive the Hanen More Than Words® program.

The goal of More Than Words is to empower parents to be the main facilitator of their child's social communication development, which increases the child's opportunities to develop social communication skills in everyday situations. It is one of the programs offered to families who receive services from Ontario's Preschool Speech and Language program, although some regions are not able to offer it at all or are only able to offer a shortened version of the program. The Hanen Centre recently made updates to the More Than Words program to allow it to be delivered virtually (online) and to align with the latest evidence.\n\nPast research has found some evidence that the More Than Words program is effective, but knowledge is needed about the latest version of the program, including how effective it is when delivered online. It is important to understand who this program works best for and why. The purpose of the current study, called a pilot study, is to test a study plan that could be used in a future large study to answer these questions.\n\nIn this pilot study, the investigators will test procedures for comparing the outcomes of families who receive the More Than Words program to families who have not yet received it. Additionally, procedures for understanding varying responses to treatment will be tested. The study aims to determine whether the methods used for recruiting families, delivering the program, and monitoring progress are practical and function as expected in preparation for the future large-scale study.",[82,83,84],"Autism Spectrum Disorder","Suspected Autism","Social Communication Challenges",[86,87,88,89,90,91,92],"Autism","Parent mediated","Hanen More Than Words","Tele practice","Social communication challenges","pilot pragmatic RCT","virtual care","2025-05-06",{"date":95,"type":96},"2025-05-11","ACTUAL",{"date":93,"type":96},{"date":99,"type":76},"2026-07",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
