The primary goal of this SBIR Direct to Phase II is to expand upon the existing training platform to create an "all-in-one" digital product, FBT 2.0, that offers an integrated suite of intervention components, including (a) dynamic, personalized, self-paced program for children and parent/caregivers; (b) e-training and ongoing support for interventionists; and (c) family engagement and monitoring tools for interventionists. Investigators will create a comprehensive, e-learning digital intervention with engaging, interactive, and personalized online tools for youth and their parents/caregivers that are integrated into the broader interventionist platform.
