Summary

This study tests whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), delivered through a smartphone app, can help caregivers of children with RASopathies (like Neurofibromatosis type 1 and Noonan syndrome) cope with parenting stress. The trial is fully remote and involves 70 adult caregivers. Participants either start ACT right away or wait 8 weeks, then complete surveys and coaching sessions. The goal is to see if the therapy is feasible and reduces stress.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, remote therapy option to help caregivers manage stress and improve well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study (70 participants) with no blinding, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention is behavioral, not a medical treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document * Ability to read and speak English * Age \>= 18 years * Caregiver (defined as parent or legal guardian) of a child (\< 18 years) with a diagnosis of a RASopathy syndrome including NF1, Noonan Syndrome, Legius Syndrome, CFC, and Costello Syndrome, or another RASopathy * The participant s child with a RASopathy must live with them at least 50% of the time * Access to necessary resources for participating in a technology-based intervention (i.e., computer, smartphone, internet access) or be willing to use an iPod provided by study team. * Must score a 15 or higher total score on modified questions from the Parental Stress Scale (PSS), indicating endorsement of the midpoint response on average and thus a moderate level of parenting stress. * Caregiver must not be participating in or planning to participate in psychosocial intervention primarily targeting parenting stress over the duration of the study. Caregivers are able to receive interventions for other mental health concerns as long as parenting stress is not the main focus of treatment. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: * Another caregiver in the same household is participating in this protocol. If two caregivers in the same household want to participate, we will inform them that one can enroll on the protocol and the other can receive the intervention materials (e.g., parent workbook, audio recordings) to practice on their own. The reason for this is that parents participating with their partner may interact with the intervention differently and have more direct support than other participants. We will collect data on how many caregivers live in the household and how often the second parent engaged with the parent workbook and audio recordings in our pre and post study questionnaires. * Uncontrolled psychiatric illness, cognitive impairments, or other circumstance as judged by the Principal Investigator, a licensed psychologist, that would limit compliance with study requirements
