What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a low-cost, supportive tool to help parents feel less stressed and less ashamed about their child's condition.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to all parents. The program is new and unproven, and benefits may be modest.
