A parent-mediated intervention to increase responsive parental behaviors and child communication in children with ASD : a randomized clinical trial . Longitudinal research has demonstrated that responsive parental behaviors reliably predict subsequent language gains in children with autism spectrum disorder . To investigate the underlying causal mechanisms , we conducted a randomized clinical trial of an experimental intervention ( Focused Playtime Intervention , FPI ) that aims to enhance responsive parental communication ( N = 70 ) . Results showed a significant treatment effect of FPI on responsive parental behaviors . Findings also revealed a conditional effect of FPI on children 's expressive language outcomes at 12-month follow up , suggesting that children with baseline language skills below 12 months ( n = 24 ) are most likely to benefit from FPI . Parents of children with more advanced language skills may require intervention strategies that go beyond FPI 's focus on responsive communication .
