The therapy is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people cope with difficult emotions by building psychological flexibility - the ability to accept and adjust to hard situations. The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n1. What are the experiences and needs of fathers raising children with special needs?\n2. What content and format of an ACT programme would be most helpful for these fathers?\n\nResearchers will conduct focus group interviews with two groups of participants: fathers raising children with special needs and social workers who work with these families. The interviews will take about 60 to 90 minutes each.\n\nParticipants will:\n\n1. Take part in a recorded focus group interview\n2. Share their experiences, challenges, and views on what an ACT program should include\n\nThe findings will be used to develop a protocol for an ACT programme to improve the mental health of fathers raising children with special needs.",[23,24,25,26,27],"Caregiver Mental Health","Parenting Stress","Developmental Disabilities","Special Needs Children","FATHER",[29,30,31,32,33,34],"mental health","Father","psychological flexibility","Acceptance and Commitment Therapy","Qualitative Study","Special Needs","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-05-09",{"date":38,"type":39},"2026-05-18","ACTUAL",{"date":41,"type":19},"2026-05-01",{"date":43,"type":19},"2027-05-01",{"name":45,"class":46},"The Hong Kong Polytechnic University","OTHER",{"id":48,"slug":49,"hasResults":11,"nctId":50,"briefTitle":51,"officialTitle":52,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":53,"healthyVolunteers":54,"sex":16,"minAge":55,"maxAge":56,"enrollmentInfo":57,"targetDuration":59,"studyType":20,"phases":4,"briefSummary":60,"conditions":61,"keywords":64,"overallStatus":67,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":68,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":69,"startDateStruct":71,"completionDateStruct":73,"leadSponsor":75,"locationsCount":77},"100599180","visual-function-screening-system-with-special-needs-children-and-typical-preschoolers-100599180","NCT07081139","Visual Function Screening System With Special Needs Children and Typical Preschoolers","Leveraging Deep Learning to Optimize the Individualized Application of Eye-tracking Devices for the Early-stage Visual Function Screening of Both Special Needs Children and Typical Preschoolers","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* A.

Among various approaches, eye-tracking based visual assessment has emerged as a promising tool, particularly for infants, toddlers, and children with developmental disabilities who are unable to complete traditional vision tests. The object of this study is to design and investigate the effectiveness of using a deep learning based, individualized eye-tracking system to assess visual function, specifically visual acuity and visual field, in typical preschool children and infants under the age of three.
