Official title
Taking ACTion: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Parents of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators will develop and pilot test an intervention called "ACT for Parents" which aims to decrease stress and improve quality of life in parents of children \< 15 years who have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. A small randomized trial testing phase will be conducted to gather initial data on the treatment feasibility and acceptability, detect treatment effects between groups (ACT for Parents versus Treatment as Usual), and to refine the treatment design for a future clinical trial.
