An adjusted version for autistic children has shown promise in feasibility studies and Lee and Sewell will conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial in community settings to capture child, parent, and facilitator satisfaction with the program and the randomized clinical trial procedures. This will inform the development and implementation of a full randomized clinical trial that could improve mental health care, service delivery, and policy for children and families with autism.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/cihr-irsc.gc.ca\/e\/49051.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CIHR Project Grant<\/a> supports ideas with the greatest potential to advance health-related fundamental or applied knowledge, health research, health care, health systems and\/or health outcomes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Dr. Vivian Lee and Dr. Karen Sewell who were awarded a Project Grant by the Canadian Institute for Health Sciences!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":511,"featured_media":54998,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[63,50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-psychology","category-research-2"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/511"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54997"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55011,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54997\/revisions\/55011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
