Executive Function Training Program

Executive Function Training Program: A 12-week, structured, group-based executive function training program delivered once weekly to elementary school students aged 9-12 years with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their parents. Each weekly session includes an 80-minute child session and a 65-minute parent session. The child sessions use explicit instruction, modeling, guided practice, role-play, feedback, and home practice to teach and practice executive function strategies related to planning and prioritizing, organization, time management and task initiation, emotional and impulse control, and flexible thinking. In parallel, parents receive education on the same executive function topics taught to their children and review their child's home practice. Parent involvement is designed to help children apply and generalize the executive function strategies learned in the program to daily life at home, at school, and in other everyday situations.

Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a structured executive function training program can improve executive function, adaptive behavior, and self-regulation in elementary school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the program improve participants' executive function skills and their ability to use these skills in daily life? Does the program improve participants' adaptive behavior and self-regulation?

Researchers will compare participants who receive the executive function training program with participants in a waitlist control group to determine whether the program is effective.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the waitlist control group and will complete assessments before and after the intervention. The intervention consists of a structured, group-based program provided once a week for 12 weeks. Children participate in sessions designed to teach and practice executive function strategies, while their parents participate in parent education and review of home practice to support the use of these skills in daily life.

The program focuses on skills such as planning and prioritizing, organization, time management and task initiation, emotional and impulse control, and flexible thinking. Participants practice applying these strategies to situations encountered at home, at school, and in everyday life.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 9 to 12 years who are attending elementary school * Diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) * Full-scale intelligence quotient (IQ) of 70 or higher * Ability to understand the study procedures and participate in the intervention program * Availability of a parent or legal guardian who is able to participate in the parent sessions and study assessments Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of a severe neurological or medical condition that may interfere with participation in the study * Presence of a severe psychiatric or behavioral condition that may interfere with participation in the group-based intervention * Significant sensory or physical impairment that would prevent participation in the intervention or assessments * Concurrent participation in another structured intervention program targeting executive function during the study period

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Executive Function as Assessed by the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Second Edition (BRIEF-2) — Baseline, immediately after the 12-week intervention, and 12 weeks after completion of the intervention
    The BRIEF-2 is a parent-report questionnaire that assesses executive function behaviors in children's everyday life. The Global Executive Composite (GEC), index scores, and individual clinical scale scores will be analyzed to evaluate changes in different aspects of executive functioning. Higher T-scores indicate greater difficulties with executive functioning, whereas lower T-scores indicate fewer difficulties.
