The TOTS Study

CliniKids researchers are seeking families to take part in the Tuning in to Toddlers program.

We are conducting this study to investigate if the program helps families understand how to support and manage their child's emotion development and regulating emotions.

Parents and primary caregivers of young children aged 18-48 months diagnosed with autism (or awaiting confirmation of a diagnosis), experiencing some difficulties with emotions are invited to take part, living anywhere in Australia.

Participation involves caregivers attending between 8 to 10 one-hour sessions with a therapist in clinic (Subiaco or Joondalup, WA) or via telehealth, completing some questionnaires about your child and family before and after the program (about 1.5 hours each), and a post-program interview (no more than an hour).
