MEYA (Modular Evidence-Based Treatment for Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder) is a digital treatment program used to address anxiety and social challenges in children and youth diagnosed with autism. MEYA was developed in the USA and is currently only used there, but the purpose of the project is to adapt and test it in a Norwegian context. MEYA is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, which is a well-known method for treating mild mental disorders, both in Norway and internationally. We collaborate closely with UCLA and the developers of the program to ensure the best possible implementation of MEYA here in Norway.
