Study Summary
Purpose of the Study: The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if a technique called the "mutual gaze procedure," used in Pathways Early Intervention (Pathways), is the key to helping improve social communication, language, and everyday skills in young children (16-30 months old) who are at high risk for autism, particularly those from diverse cultural and language backgrounds. What Will Happen: Researchers will compare two versions of the Pathways Intervention: * Version 1: Includes mutual gaze strategies. * Version 2: Does not include mutual gaze strategies. What to Expect: Participants will: * Attend 12 sessions of Pathways Intervention, each lasting 1.5 hours (or 15 weeks if there are cancellations). * Come to the clinic for a developmental check-up three times: before starting Pathways, right after completing Pathways, and three months after finishing Pathways.
Primary Outcome
Assessors blind to group assignment will evaluate each child for social skills using the EarliPointTM The EarliPointTM is an FDA-authorized eye-tracking tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) eye-tracking technology to assess social disability in children between 16 and 30 months by measuring the number of social interactions a child observes on the portable eye-tracking screen. EarliTech will be used to measure improved social skills. There are 2 different EarliTech Scores: social disabili
