Abstract

Online parent-implemented interventions may increase treatment accessibility and reduce health care services burden by enabling parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) to implement treatments at home. This systematic review identified and evaluated the quality of evidence for the efficacy of online parent-implemented interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Cerebral Palsy (CP), and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Twelve interventions were identified targeting a range of behaviors (ASD = 8, ADHD = 3, FASD = 1). Preliminary evidence suggests that online parent-implemented interventions are promising for children with these diagnoses, but require more rigorous, large-scale research as study quality was poor overall.
