Summary

This study tests a program called Family Foundations for Special Education (FF-SE) for co-parents of children with disabilities who are entering the special education system. The program includes six virtual learning sessions to help parents understand the system, communicate better, and work together. Researchers want to see if it improves parent mental health, co-parenting, and child adjustment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Family Foundations for Special Education (FF-SE) behavioral program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could give parents practical tools to reduce stress and better support their child's education and mental health.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to all families. The program is behavioral, so improvements depend on parent engagement.
