Participate in the study

Study aim

In the fall of 2024, we are planning to start a study on the effectiveness of the app on the resilience of parents of children suspected of/diagnosed with a neurodiversity, including autism, AD(H)D, intellectual disabilities, communication disorders, specific learning disabilities (dyslexia and dyscalculia), motor (coordination) disorders and tic disorders. Further information about the study can be found in the information letter for participants.

You can sign up via the following link.  


Two groups

To see if Adappt is effective in supporting parents we are going to compare two groups. These groups will be determined by drawing lots. After checking whether you can participate in the study (see below “Who can participate?”), you will receive a questionnaire. After completing this questionnaire, we will draw lots to see which group you will be in. Half of the people will be allowed to start using the app immediately and the other half will have to wait another 4 months to start using the app.


Who can participate?

To be able to participate in the study participants have to fulfil some criteria:

(1) You are the parent of one or more child(ren) (younger than 18) diagnosed with/suspected of a neurodiversity
