Early intervention with parent participation is important for facilitating skill development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, many barriers delay or prohibit families from accessing care. We describe the development and acceptability of a novel, comprehensive, self-directed online program for caregivers of children with ASD. Program effectiveness will be presented in a subsequent manuscript. The program is based on behavioral, naturalistic, and developmental principles, and teaches caregivers to use evidence-based interventions to teach developmentally appropriate targets. Approximately two-thirds of enrolled parents completed all 14 modules; barriers to completion for the additional families are described. Parents reported that the program was clear, enjoyable, and useful in teaching them interventions and in improving their children's skills and behavior.

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is implicated as a necessary factor in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) and may also be a driver of disease activity. Although it is not clear whether ongoing viral replication is the driver for MS pathology, MS researchers have considered the prospect of using drugs with potential efficacy against EBV in the treatment of MS. We have undertaken scientific and lived experience expert panel reviews to shortlist existing licensed therapies that could be used in later-stage clinical trials in MS.
