Spanish-language Executive Function Intervention for Children With Autism and/or ADHD
This study is looking at a Spanish-language program called "Unstuck and On Target" (SL-Unstuck) for children aged 8-11 who have autism and/or ADHD. This program teaches important executive functioning (EF) skills like flexibility and setting goals. Researchers want to see if SL-Unstuck is practical, well-received by Spanish-speaking families, and if it helps children improve their EF skills. They also want to know if it helps caregivers understand EF better and reduces caregiver stress. You might be able to join if your child is 8-11 years old, has autism and/or ADHD, has strong verbal skills, and experiences certain executive functioning challenges like difficulty accepting feedback or handling frustration. The study plans to enroll 40 participants.
- Study design

What this trial measures
- Executive Function Challenge TaskAt baseline and 1 month post-implementation.
The Executive Functioning Challenge Task deliberately tests a child's ability to utilize key executive functions like planning and flexibility by presenting scenarios that reveal potential areas of difficulty in their EF skills. The test yields Flexibility and Planning raw scores with a minimum of 0 and maximum of 8. Higher scores indicate greater impairment in executive functioning. A total executive functioning raw score is also calculated as the sum of planning and flexibility scores. Values below represent the change in average raw scores from baseline to post-intervention for participating children. Negative scores represent an overall decrease in executive functioning impairment (better outcome) while positive scores representing an increase in executive functioning impairment (worse outcome) from baseline to post when looking at the condition groups as a whole.
