Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and preliminary benefits of implementing ACT Together for parents of children with disabilities in pediatric outpatient clinics. ACT Together includes six self-paced, web-based modules and brief weekly one-on-one coaching sessions led by a trained occupational therapist. The program is based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which teaches practical skills to help people handle stress and difficult thoughts or feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

* Can parents and occupational therapists complete the study activities as planned (e.g., module completion, coaching sessions, and surveys)?
* Is the program usable and acceptable/appropriate/feasible to implement in this setting?
* Do parents show improvements in mental health and coping-related outcomes after participating in the program?
* What are the experiences and perspectives of parents and therapists regarding the program?

Parents as participants will:

* Complete six self-paced web-based modules and brief weekly individual phone coaching sessions with a trained occupational therapist working in pediatric outpatient clinics.
* Complete online questionnaires before starting and after completing the program.
* Take part in one online interview about their experiences and perspectives on the program.

Occupational therapists as participants will:

* Complete therapist training materials and deliver brief individual phone coaching sessions to parent participants, including completing a post-session checklist.
* Complete brief online questionnaires before starting and after delivering the program.
* Take part in one online interview about their experiences and perspectives on the program.
