Single Session Support for Parents of Children With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Struggling With Anxious Avoidance
Project EMPOWER-Neuro Developmental Disabilities (ND): Single Session Support for Parents of Children Struggling With Anxious Avoidance
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study will inform the development of a brief online program to help parents better understand and respond to anxiety-related behaviors in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disability, and learning disorders). Many neurodiverse children experience high levels of anxiety, which can appear as avoidance, emotional distress, or challenging behaviors that are difficult for parents to interpret and manage. The purpose of this research is to evaluate EMPOWER-ND with its digital, single-session intervention (SSI) that provides practical parenting strategies for addressing anxiety-related behaviors in neurodiverse children. Parents of eligible children aged 5-14 with neurodevelopmental conditions will be invited to enroll in the research study.
