Parents will be coached to implement NDBI strategies during daily routines with their young child with ASD following the coach and parent NDBI manuals developed in the Landa lab. Coaching will be delivered in families' homes by trained study coaches to support parent implementation of NDBI strategies during daily life activities with their toddler with ASD.
