Meeting the Needs of Neurodivergent Teens for Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: Challenges and Adaptation Strategies From Clinicians, Teens With Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and Caregivers.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeNeurodivergent teens experience elevated emotion dysregulation yet are excluded from treatment trials designed to address these challenges. Guided by implementation science, social model of disability and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)'s biosocial model, this study explores the fit of DBT for neurodivergent youth, focusing on teens with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).
methodsA needs assessment was conducted with teens with FASD, their caregivers, and DBT clinicians. The survey assessed fit of DBT, barriers/facilitators and adaptation priorities. Data analysis employed RADaR (rigorous and accelerated data reduction) and thematic narrative analysis.
resultsCommunity members viewed DBT as promising for teens with FASD. They identified key barriers, including material complexity and a lack of neurodiversity-affirming practices. Clinicians reported limited training in FASD and offered concrete adaptation suggestions. DISCUSSION: Findings highlight the value of living experience in informing inclusive intervention design and provide a foundation for adapting DBT to better support neurodivergent adolescents.
