Summary

This trial will create an intervention to help early identify and help infants/toddlers with self-regulation difficulties using telehealth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for caregivers of infants aged 12-18 months who show early signs of ADHD and have a relative with ADHD. Infants must exhibit certain behaviors indicating potential ADHD, and caregivers need to express concerns about the child's behavior. Participants must speak English and have internet access at home.
What is being tested?
The study tests a telehealth-delivered intervention aimed at supporting caregivers in managing infants with early self-regulation difficulties that may indicate signs of ADHD. The effectiveness of this caregiver-implemented program will be evaluated remotely.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a behavioral intervention delivered via telehealth, there are no direct medical side effects like those associated with medications or surgical procedures. However, participants may experience stress or fatigue due to involvement in the study.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Telehealth InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A multiple baseline design across subjects will be used with varying introduction of treatment elements. Baseline periods will be 3, 5, and 7 sessions with the baseline period of 3 and 5 sessions repeated twice for subsequent participants. An intense intervention phase will follow the baseline phase in which 45-60 minute treatment sessions will occur twice per week over the course of 4-6 weeks for a total of 8 sessions. Each week during the intense intervention phase, caregiver coaches will introduce a new treatment technique to the caregiver and allow for caregiver practice with immediate feedback. At the conclusion of the intense intervention phase, coaches will provide "booster" sessions with the caregivers once weekly for 1 month (4 sessions total).
