Oxytocin in autistic pre-schoolers receiving social learning therapy

The nasal spray is being studied in combination with an established social learning intervention, called the Parent-delivered Early Start Denver Model (P-ESDM).

 

Children and their parents attend a 12-week therapy program with a therapist, where they will learn how to use P-ESDM with their child at home. To participate, they must be able to attend five study visits and 13 P-ESDM sessions at the Brain and Mind Centre over the course of six months.
