Implementation of the Parents Taking Action With Caregivers of Young Autistic Children in Paraguay
The principal aim of this study is to conduct a single group design pilot of a psychoeducational caregiver training (i.e., culturally adapted Parents Taking Action) with a group of family caregivers of young children with autism in Paraguay. The following research questions will be addressed: Research Question #1: What is the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention? Research Question #2: Do participants improve between pre and post-test on outcome measures? Parents will receive 10 weekly remote sessions on information about autism and strategies to support their child's development. The weekly sessions will be held via telehealth by the researcher and 2 and 2 Paraguayan trained parents of autistic individuals.
