Objectives This study aims to evaluate the preliminary feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a brief telehealth parent training program designed for children with ASD experiencing sleep disturbances. Methods This open-label trial involved 50 children aged 3 to 12 years with ASD and sleep issues. Participants underwent a four-session group telehealth parent training program targeting sleep disturbances, chronotype regulation, behavioral difficulties, and parent quality of life. A follow-up phone session was conducted one month after the intervention. Results Post-intervention analysis revealed a significant improvement in the parent-reported sleep questionnaire for children with ASD (Cohen's d = 0.64). Sleep logs indicated a statistically significant enhancement in sleep efficiency (Cohen's d = 0.52). The parent-reported chronotype questionnaire showed significant changes at the one-month follow-up (Cohen's d = 0.48). No significant differences were observed regarding behavioral difficulties. Improvements in parent-reported health-related quality of life were noted (Cohen's d = 0.79 post-intervention; Cohen's d = 1.15 at one-month follow-up). Treatment fidelity was high, and participant satisfaction was elevated, reflecting perceived effectiveness and favorable cost-benefit ratio. Conclusions The brief telehealth parent training intervention demonstrates potential in improving sleep issues and regulating chronotype in children with ASD, with promising results in terms of feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy.

Feasibility and preliminary outcomes of a parent-mediated telehealth intervention for feeding difficulties in children with autism spectrum disorder / Jorge LUGO-MARÍN in Research in Autism, 136 (August 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 136 (August 2026) . - 202947 Titre : Feasibility and preliminary outcomes of a parent-mediated telehealth intervention for feeding difficulties in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jorge LUGO-MARÍN, Auteur ; Imanol SETIEN-RAMOS, Auteur ; Teresa ALONZO-CASTILLO, Auteur ; Aina GARCÍA-MARTÍNEZ, Auteur ; Silvia FERRER-MOLTÓ, Auteur ; María MARTÍNEZ-RAMÍREZ, Auteur ; Josep Antoni RAMOS-QUIROGA, Auteur ; Laura GISBERT-GUSTEMPS, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202947 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Feeding difficulties  Food selectivity  Telehealth  Parent-mediated intervention  Applied behavior analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Introduction Feeding difficulties are highly prevalent in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and represent a significant source of family stress. Although in-person behavioral interventions have demonstrated effectiveness, access to them is limited. Parent-mediated interventions delivered via telehealth are emerging as a promising alternative, although evidence remains scarce. Objective To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a parent-mediated behavioral intervention delivered via telehealth for feeding difficulties in children with ASD. Method A prospective single-arm pilot study with a pre–post design and follow-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months was conducted. Participants were 26 children with ASD, aged 3–8 years, with clinically significant feeding difficulties. The 8-week intervention was based on applied behavior analysis principles and included psychoeducation, training in behavioral strategies, and individualized follow-up via videoconference. Measures included parental adherence, parental satisfaction, feeding behaviors, variety of accepted foods, parental stress, and family quality of life. Results The intervention showed moderate-to-high levels of parental adherence. Families reported high satisfaction and good acceptability of the telehealth format. Significant reductions in food selectivity were observed, along with a progressive increase in the variety of accepted foods, particularly at 6 months. No significant changes were found in parental stress or family quality of life. Conclusions This pilot study supports the feasibility and acceptability of a parent-mediated behavioral feeding intervention delivered via telehealth, with preliminary positive effects on food selectivity. Controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings.
