This study fills a critical gap by detailing the adaptation process of a caregiver wellbeing and naturalistic developmental behavioural training program for caregivers of children with autism in low-resource settings. Our next steps are to report on mixed-methods outcomes from pilot implementation. Our long-term goal is to apply these insights to advance sustainable and scalable autism intervention services across the globe.
