Official title

A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating an AI-Based Reflective Parenting Simulation for Parents of Autistic Children

Overview

This randomized controlled trial evaluates an AI-based parental simulation designed to support reflective parenting, emotional regulation, and parent-child communication among parents of autistic children aged 3 to 12 years. A total of 140 parents will be recruited through an external online survey platform and randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will complete baseline questionnaires, engage with the AI-based simulation, and then complete post-intervention measures. The control group will complete baseline and post-assessment measures before receiving access to the simulation.

Detailed description

The study examines the use of an AI-based parental simulation as a learning and reflective tool for parents of autistic children aged 3 to 12 years. The simulation is designed to allow parents to practice responses to emotionally challenging parent-child situations, with an emphasis on reflective functioning, emotional regulation, playfulness, and supportive parent-child communication.

Participants will be recruited through an external online survey platform and will provide informed consent before participation. After completing baseline questionnaires, participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Participants in the intervention group will complete the AI-based simulation and then complete post-intervention measures. Participants in the control group will complete post-assessment measures before receiving access to the simulation.

Interventions

  • Behavioral AI-Based Reflective Parenting Simulation
    An AI-based reflective parenting simulation designed for parents of autistic children aged 3 to 12 years. The simulation allows parents to practice reflective, emotionally regulated, and supportive responses to challenging parent-child situations, with an emphasis on parent-child communication, shared emotional regulation, and the parent-child relationship as a secure anchor.

Primary outcome measures

  • Change in Study-Specific Parent Reflective Capacity Questionnaire Score [Time frame: Baseline and immediately after the intervention or control assessment point]

  • Parent is able to read and complete questionnaires in Hebrew.
  • Parent has access to an internet-connected device and is able to complete the online study procedures.
  • Parent provides informed consent to participate.

Exclusion criteria

  • \- Parent does not provide informed consent.
  • Parent is not the parent or primary caregiver of an autistic child aged 3 to 12 years.
