  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

The study aims to test a treatment called Function-Based Elopement Treatment (FBET) for children aged 4-12 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD is a condition where kids have trouble with social communication and often show repetitive behaviors. Some kids with ASD may run away or leave a safe area without permission, known as *elopement*. This is risky and stressful for families. FBET is a special kind of help designed to reduce this behavior.

Participants will receive 12 FBET sessions over 20 weeks or continue their usual treatment. The study will check if FBET works well in regular clinics and if it helps reduce elopement.

  • Study lasts 20 weeks with 12 FBET sessions.
  • Participants will do assessments and training with caregivers.
  • Open to children aged 4 to 12 with an ASD diagnosis and elopement issues.
