An interventional study of Modified Interaction Guidance in Autism Spectrum Disorder, sponsored by University of Manitoba. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 10 Months to 35 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-01-12.
Sponsored by University of Manitoba · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of using telepractice to provide Modified Interaction Guidance (MIG) to caregivers and their child with autism. MIG as an intervention to improve attachment for children with autism and their primary caregiver.
The process objectives target focus on1) recruitment, 2) retention, 3) engagement with tools, 4) time demand on dyads, and 5) eligibility criteria.
The resource assessment objectives include: 1) equipment and internet accessibility 2) communication methods, and 3) timelines.
The management assessment objectives address: 1) ethical standards, 2) researcher qualifications and 3) data storage and collection.
Finally, when looking at the scientific assessment, the objectives relate to: 1) Is use of a concurrent multiple baseline single-subject design feasible with this population? 2)capturing dyad needs, 3) burden levels, and 4) safety protocols.
This study will evaluate the above listed dimensions of feasibility using a embedded mixed methods approach that incorporates both a single-subject design and qualitative data gathered throughout the research process and post intervention individual interviews.

Exclusion Criteria:
Caregivers and their child will interact for 10 minutes while being observed and videotaped. Psychoeducation will be provided and goal setting will occur to ensure dyad specific relationship gains are made.
Behavioral: Modified Interaction Guidance
The main steps in the procedure are to have the family identify the primary concern they are facing, highlight the strengths that the family already has in place and expand on those strengths, convey/impart caregiving and societal norms, and offer other perspectives (McDonough, 2004). The goal of this therapy is to engage the family to take an active role in the construction of their overall treatment. The individualized treatment approach focuses and builds on existing strengths.
Parenting Interactions with Children Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes (PICCOLO)
Serves as an observational tool to determine parental abilities in four specific domains; Affection, Responsiveness, Encouragement and Teaching.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Goal Attainment Scale (GAS)
Used to evaluate client specific goals. When goals are established by the client, the goals are then evaluated and measured by client specific criterion.
Time frame: Immediately right before and after the Intervention
Parent Sense of Competency (PSOC)
Measures parent's feelings of self-esteem and satisfaction of the ability in a parenting role. The PSOC is a 17 item scale, with 2 subscales. Each item is rated on a 6 point Likert scale anchored by 1 = "Strongly Disagree" and 6 = "Strongly Agree". A higher score indicates a higher parenting sense of competency.
Time frame: Baseline and 2 weeks post intervention.

Ran from Nov 2020 to primary completion in Mar 2021, 4 months.
Of 801 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Autism Spectrum Disorder, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 48. This study's 4 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 825 studies reached it within 25 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 47.
