Hospital-family collaborative DTT intervention to reduce the parenting stress through improving core symptoms and family functioning in children with autism spectrum disorder: a randomized controlled trial
Our hospital-family collaborative DTT program significantly improved children's ASD symptoms, family function, and parenting stress, demonstrating the value of ongoing family-based DTT intervention. The improvements in children's symptoms and family function showed a time-dependent shift from adaptive to behavioral changes, which were linked to lower parental stress.
