Executive Function Intervention for Children With ASD Combining a Digital App and Parent Coaching

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to develop and evaluate a digital cognitive control intervention that integrates a digital application-based child training program with an online parent coaching program for early school-aged children aged 5-8 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their caregivers in South Korea. This intervention is designed to enhance clinical applicability, sustainability, and generalization to daily life of executive skills through active parental involvement. This study has three primary aims: (1) to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and implementation fidelity of the integrated child-parent digital intervention, (2) to investigate the effects of the intervention on children's cognitive control and executive function using behavioral assessments and neurophysiological measures (e.g., EEG), as well as on parents' use of cognitive control-supportive strategies in daily contexts, and (3) to assess whether intervention related changes generalize to real-world functioning, including children's adaptive behavior, academic readiness, and social functioning, as reported by parents, and whether these effects are maintained over time.
