Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Autistic Teens with Anxiety: the LUNA Study
Are you the parent of an autistic child ages 11-17 with anxiety?
Baylor College of Medicine is conducting a virtual research study that provides treatment for anxiety designed to fit the needs of autistic children between the ages of 11-17 years old. This is an internet-based, parent-led cognitive behavioral therapy program that both child and parents participate in. During the program you will receive 12 weeks of internet-based CBT with additional therapist support via videoconferencing. You will also be asked to participate in 3 virtual assessment visits, each of which is compensated with $100. No costs will be incurred for participation.
You may be eligible for this study if:
- Your child is between the ages of 11 and 17 and is diagnosed with autism.
- Your child experiences fears, worries, or phobia that are upsetting and cause problems in their life.
- Your child can communicate verbally.
- Your child can read and comprehend written material on their own.
- You and your child speak English.
- You and your child currently reside in the state of Texas.
