I am looking for a brief, online form of CR that can be used as self-help or guided self-help. Can anyone help please? We are planning a pilot trial to see the effect of CR combined with CBTp Guided Self-help, that we recently tested in a feasibility study-

Perhaps this would be of interest:
This collection of games/ exercises (length varies) to choose from is readily available and may have good patient appeal.

This is a very relevant and interesting topic. While the literature shows mixed results, this is still a new area of intervention. There are clearly benefits to online interventions; there is often much reading which can be challenges for individuals with learning disabilities. If this is the case, it might require adaptive educational approaches as well as more involvement by clinicians than desired in self-help groups.
The article you provided, Cognitive Behavior Therapy for psychosis based Guided Self-help (CBTp-GSH) delivered by frontline mental health professionals: Results of a feasibility study showed an interesting use of CBT, but there were a number of different variables which made comparison to your original topic difficult. It did show benefits of CBT, but not in relation to learning disabilities or your proposed interventions.
Specific to learning disabilities, there are currently adaptive tools being studied, such as iPad, or similar apps as well as audio and/or visual treatments (i.e. Duo Lingo) which can increase the use of self-help as opposed to clinicians. However, this also depends on how you will operationally define self-help.
Thank you for starting this excellent topic.
