The Effective Parenting Program (EPP)

The Phase I objective is to determine the feasibility of the EPP program by examining user responses to the first three units of EPP's nine interactive training modules. This feasibility evaluation will track and analyze individual program usage and examine changes in parents' psychological flexibility, parents' stress, parenting self-efficacy, parents' mindfulness and child behavior in a within subject pretest and posttest design with 50 parents of children who have DD. Qualifying parents will complete a baseline assessment and then be directed to our online learning platform to complete the interactive learning activities. This test of the Phase I prototype is intended to approximate the conditions under which the complete product will be marketed and used.
