What is being tested?
The RAINBOW study tests an adapted version of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) delivered online to manage challenging behaviors in young children with TSC. Participants are randomly chosen to start treatment immediately or after a six-month wait, but all will receive the same therapy sessions weekly for up to 20 weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since PCIT is a behavioral intervention involving parent-child interaction training rather than medication, there are no direct physical side effects like you'd expect from drugs. However, participants may experience stress or frustration as they adapt to new parenting techniques.

Participants randomized to the immediate treatment condition will receive written and verbal feedback after the baseline assessment visit. These families will begin PCIT shortly after this visit. These families will participate in follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months after the baseline visit.
Group II: Waitlist ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Participants randomized to the waitlist control (or delayed treatment) condition will receive written and verbal feedback after the baseline assessment visit. These families will participate in follow-up visits at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the baseline visit. They will receive the same treatment (PCIT) after the 6-month assessment.
