Article Synopsis
- * Limited availability of trained service providers often prevents families from accessing these interventions, but telehealth offers a potential solution for increased communication between families and providers, particularly in rural areas.
- * A statewide model was developed where expert consultants used telehealth to train caregivers and providers in NDBI strategies, leading to positive feedback and improved child skills, demonstrating the model's effectiveness.
Background: Families of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently experience barriers to accessing evidence-based early intervention services. Telemedicine presents an opportunity to increase access to these services, particularly for families in rural and under-resourced areas. The present article describes a brief behavioral intervention and support model for families of young children with concerns for ASD.

Meanwhile, multiple studies document psychological distress within these parents. This pilot longitudinal randomized controlled trial compared the parent-implemented Early Start Denver Model (P-ESDM) to P-ESDM plus mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) for parents.

The present work extends from a previous study which provided preliminary evidence for the feasibility of expert clinicians to utilize telemedicine to triage autism spectrum disorder risk in young children. However, it did not examine whether a telediagnostic model had a demonstrable impact on tertiary care center referrals and usage.
