What this trial studies

This project evaluates the Incredible Years Autism Spectrum and Language Delay Programme, a parenting intervention designed for parents of children aged 2-6 diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study aims to empower parents by providing them with effective strategies to manage the challenges associated with raising a child with ASD. By conducting a multi-center randomized controlled trial across three Norwegian clinics, the research seeks to establish evidence-based practices that can improve both parental well-being and child outcomes. The focus is on reducing parental stress and enhancing the effectiveness of interventions for children with ASD.
