Study of an Early Parenting Intervention for Children With Genetic Abnormalities and Mental Health Problems

The GAP study is a randomized controlled trial that aims to determine the feasibility and efficacy of the "Incredible Years Autism Spectrum and Language Delays" (IY-ASLD®) intervention for families of children with developmental problems from a genetic basis. It is a multicentric trial where families will randomly be assigned to the intervention group or to a control group (they will follow their usual treatment). The intervention will be carried out in an online format, and it will involve 22 weekly group sessions. The results of The GAP study will help clinicians and policy makers in guiding towards evidence-based treatment options for these particularly vulnerable group of infants.
