A modified telehealth Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program for adults with cerebral palsy who had elevated anxiety or emotion regulation difficulties did not produce a statistically significant between-group difference in mindfulness scores compared with a wait-list group. However, within the MBSR group, participants showed improvements in depression, stress, and emotion regulation that were maintained eight weeks after the program ended. The program was successfully adapted for this population. The trial included 31 participants with no or mild intellectual impairment who attended 90-minute weekly sessions for nine weeks.
