NCT03005431 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Summary

Manitoba parents of preschool children newly diagnosed with Autism must wait up to a year to receive government funded services for their child. During this delay parents need support and training to promote their child's development. The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate an on-line, parent training and support program that will assist parents during this time. It is predicted that if parents receive on-line training and support they will increase their parenting knowledge and skills, reduce their stress, and create better outcomes for their child, in comparison to parents who do not receive the training. The experimental study (n=60) will use a randomized, masked, waitlist control design that compares a treatment group to a control group. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe differences between groups, ANCOVA's to test for differences between groups, and Pearson correlations to describe the relationship between parent stress and outcomes.
