Research Participant: Parents of Children (6-12) with ADHD or Related Challenges
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Study Overview
We’re looking for parents of children aged 6–12 with ADHD (or strong signs of it) to help us understand how our new app supports families like yours.
Over 8 weeks, you’ll explore the Savvy App: a mobile program with short lessons and evidence-based exercises designed to help parent teach their kid to be more organized, manage big emotions, listen and follow through, build self-esteem and motivation.
Each week, you’ll try practical exercises with your child, based on that week’s lessons (you’re free to skip some of them if that feels uncomfortable).
All exercises are rooted in proven CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Behavioral Therapy techniques developed by clinical psychologists, licensed therapists, and special education experts.
About the App
SavvyApp helps parents of children with ADHD. Our mission is to make professional ADHD support accessible to every family. We combine evidence-based CBT and behavioral therapy principles with playful, bite-sized lessons, so parents can build emotional connection and teach practical skills their kids actually enjoy learning.
The app currently includes three core parenting courses, each focused on one of the most common challenges families face:
- Organization & Planning: How to help your child start tasks, stay focused, switch between activities, and finish what they begin.
- Tantrums & Emotional Regulation: How to support your child during and after a meltdown, reduce their frequency, and strengthen emotional self-regulation.
- Listening & Communication: How to help your child listen and follow through, reduce arguments and defiance, and use praise and motivation effectively without raising your voice.
What Else You’ll Get (in addition to compensation):
- Lifetime free access to the full Savvy App and all future updates (including our CBT Journal for Kids)
- Ongoing guidance and support from our professional psychologists throughout the study
- Science-backed tools you can use at home: practical exercises designed by psychologists, clinicians, and behavioral therapists (CBT, BPT)
- A chance to directly shape a tool that helps thousands of families
What the Study Involves:
- Duration: 8 weeks
- Before the study starts: You’ll complete a set of baseline surveys
- Each week:
- Complete 3 lessons in the app (one per theme)
- Each lesson includes a short theory section and practical exercises
- Rate each lesson on clarity, usefulness, and willingness to apply
- Practice the exercises with your child during the week
- Use the AI-powered support chatbot anytime
- After 8 weeks: Complete the same surveys again to track progress
- Optional follow-up: Two months later, you’ll be invited to complete the same surveys one last time
Important Details:
- You’ll need an iPhone to participate (the app is iOS only)
- All surveys are anonymous
- Participation must be full (8 weeks) — we do not compensate for partial involvement.
Compensation is provided only upon full completion of the study, which includes: completing the initial set of surveys, completing all lessons, completing short weekly check-ins after each lesson, and submitting the final set of surveys at the end of the 8 weeks. We also hope you’ll actively practice the recommended exercises from the course with your child each week.
- You’ll be asked to sign a consent form
- If your child does not have a formal ADHD diagnosis, you may still be eligible to join if your child meets at least 2 out of 3:
- Struggles with organization and planning
- Has frequent tantrums (at least once every two weeks)
- Has difficulty listening or following instructions
