This clinical trial aims to develop parent-child interaction strategy coaching and sensory processing strategy coaching via Telehealth and examine the feasibility and efficacy of the interventions in young children with autism spectrum disorder who have sensory processing disorder.
In the first experiment, the investigators will apply a single-subject research design and one-group pre-post test design to explore the feasibility of the coaching interventions. In the second experiment, RCT design will be used to examine the effectiveness of parent coaching. Sixty-five children with ASD and their parents will be randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive weekly parent-child interaction and sensory processing strategy coaching for 12 weeks. The control group will be provided with weekly self-learning materials and group discussion session for 12 weeks. Additionally, the follow-up test will be administered three months after the intervention.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single subject experiment | Experimental | Each participant will first receive one-hour, one-on-one parent-child interaction strategy coaching every week via Telehealth until the parent's parent-child interaction skills and the child's social communication abilities reach a stable or upward trend, and the parent's sensory processing strategy utilization ability and the child's daily life participation scores that are continuously collected shows a stable or downward trend. After which, the one-hour, one-on-one sensory processing strategy coaching (C1) will be provided every week via Telehealth until the parent's sensory processing strategy utilization ability and the child's activity participation level reaches a stable trend. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The performance and satisfaction with the child's daily participation | Measured by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure in the RCT experiment. The score could range from 1 to 10, with higher scores implied greater performance and higher satisfaction with the child's daily participation. | up to 25 weeks |
| The parent's parent-child interaction strategy utilization | Measured by the self-developed measurement - the Parental Parent-Child Interaction Strategy Rating Scale in the single subject experiment. The score could range from 20 to 80, with higher scores implied greater parent-child interaction strategy utilization. | through study completion, an average of 4 months |
| The child's social communication ability | Measured by the self-developed measurement - the Social Communication Rating Scale for young children in the single subject experiment. The score could range from 0 to 38, with higher scores implied greater social communication ability. | through study completion, an average of 4 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The social functioning and adaptive behavior of the child | Measured by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales - Third Edition in the RCT experiment. The score could range from 20 to 160, with higher scores implied greater social functioning and adaptive behavior. | up to 25 weeks |
| The attainment of the selected goal related to issues with the child's sensory processing disorder |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The parent's satisfaction with the online intervention | Measured by self-developed questionnaire used to assess parental parent's satisfaction with the online intervention in the RCT experiment. The score could range from 17 to 68, with higher scores implied higher satisfaction with the online intervention. | 1 week |

In the first experiment, multiple baseline design will be used to examine the feasibility of the interventions. Each participant will first receive parent-child interaction strategy coaching every week via Telehealth, followed by sensory processing strategy coaching (C1) provided every week via Telehealth. In the second experiment, RCT design will be applied to explore the efficacy of the interventions. Participants will be randomly allocated to the treatment group or the control group. The intervention group will receive weekly, one-on-one parent-child interaction and sensory processing strategy coaching via Telehealth for 12 weeks. The control group will be provided with weekly self-learning materials and group discussion session for 12 weeks. Measures will be taken at pre-test, post-test, and 3-month follow-up.
