Preschool Autism Communication Therapy (PACT)
Professionals guide parents in the PACT therapy by videoconference. Sessions between parent and professionals are every 15 days for 6 months. Each session lasts one hour. At the end of the 12 sessions, additional booster sessions (one session per month over 6 months) will allow parents to maintain their skills. Parents will use therapy with their children in daily home practice. The aims of PACT therapy is to improve synchrony in the communication between the child and the parents. Improvement of the synchrony will mediate the decrease of autism symptoms of the child.
Treatment As Usual (TAU)
Children will receive therapies available in the community as speech language therapist or occupational therapist.
