Summary

This trial tests a 12-week guided self-help program for parents of young children (ages 2-6) with neurodevelopmental disorders like autism or ADHD. The program combines a workbook, online modules, and group sessions to teach acceptance and mindfulness skills. The goal is to see if it reduces parenting stress and improves parents' mental health, while also helping children's emotional and behavioral symptoms.
