Does Mindfulness Training Enhance Early Evidence-based Parent-coaching Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorder?: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report higher levels of depression
and distress than caregivers of typically developing children as well as children with other
developmental disabilities. The proposed work tests a novel treatment paradigm that blends
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with an empirically supported and manualized parent
training program (Parent-Implemented Early Start Denver Model [P-ESDM]). We hypothesize that
directly treating parental distress, while simultaneously providing evidence-based parent
training, may greatly enhance child-focused intervention and provide benefits that resonate
across the family.

- Child has diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder

- Child at least 12 months of age but less than 36 months at time of consent
