Episode 167 - Dr Rhodes Talks with the OPTIMA team: E-Parenting Support for Families Awaiting Assessment for ADHD

Dr Kathy Weston's Get a Grip! Parenting Podcast

We are joined by five members of OPTIMA, a research programme which tests whether a new mobile phone app called STEPS can help families of children awaiting clinical assessment for conditions such as ADHD or autism. STEPS (which is still being trialled) does not replace clinical support, but gives parents access to additional help while they are on the waitlist. Any families in this situation will want to find out more about this eight module app, hear insights from parents who have lived experience of the assessment process and get some top tips for managing challenges. If you'd like to learn more, visit the OPTIMA website or watch the project animation.
