Executive functioning help for children in therapy
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help children with executive functioning challenges (like planning and staying organized) in therapy. It's for kids ages 6-12, with or without autism, who are getting therapy at publicly funded clinics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
