Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parenting, Stress, Learning Disabilities, Child, Attention Difficulties

In brief

This is a randomized open pilot trial enrolling up to 40 co-primary caregivers of children with LAD. Participants will be randomized to receive either mind-body resiliency group (SMART-LAD, intervention) or an evidence-based group intervention Health Education Program (HEP, control) which is a multiple behavior change program that addresses sleep, exercise, nutrition, substance use, and working with one's healthcare team. Both the SMART-3RP and HEP programs have been modified based on adaptions from our previous qualitative study.
