We are currently recruiting teens (ages 13 to 18) with ASD without intellectual disability (IQ of 70 or above) and at least one parent/caregiver to participate in a study of a mindfulness-based intervention called MINDful Time (Mindfulness-based Intervention for NeuroDiverse teens: Telehealth Instruction, Mobile app Enhanced). Participation is voluntary.

Each family will receive up to $200 in compensation.

Study Will Involve the Following:

  • 1-2 hours virtual intake visit to determine eligibility
  • Virtual group intervention sessions (2-hour sessions that meet weekly for 8 weeks)
  • Up to 4 virtual data collection visits before and after participating in the intervention (1-2 hours each)

Teens and Caregivers Will:

  • Attend an 8-week group telehealth intervention*
  • Learn strategies that may help with the management of stress, anxiety or depression
  • Receive free access to a mindful meditation app (ten percent happier) and asked to use it throughout the study period regularly

*If you do not have access to the internet, our team will provide assistance for those who qualify.
