Summary

This study tests a program that combines a daily digital game for children aged 5-8 with autism and weekly online coaching for their parents. The goal is to improve executive functions like self-control, memory, and flexibility. Researchers will measure changes using computer tasks, parent reports, and brain activity (EEG). The study involves 40 families in South Korea and aims to see if the program is practical and helpful in daily life.
