Treatments
Experimental: Attention Training
The computer based APT-3 intervention will be delivered in a hybrid model that will combine in-person therapy sessions at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and practice sessions which will be completed remotely. The dosing of each intervention training will be 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks (10 hours total over 4 weeks). The difficulty of the tasks in both interventions will increase progressively as the participants improve in their skills. APT-3 treatment will be administered by a trained and certified speech-language pathologist.
Experimental: Music Program
This group will receive an enhanced music experience. They will listen to pre determined music for 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks (10 hours total over 4 weeks). This will be delivered in a hybrid model that will combine, in person, remote, and independent sessions, similar to the Attention Training group. Once they complete the music program, they will have the option to complete the Attention Training.
No_intervention: Delayed Attention Training
This group will not be provided any program for the initial 4 weeks. After they complete the week 5 assessments, they will have the option to complete the Attention Training.
