Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Auditory-Cognitive Training

Treatment Participants will complete 8 weeks of training for 2 hours per week and participate in a 1 hour meeting with clinician. Participants with spend 1 hour auditory training use Angel Sound and one hour of auditory cognitive training using auditory portions of Posit Science. A clinical paradigm including reviewing results, providing strategies and positive feedback and strategies in the 1 hour virtual meeting of clinician and participant. Practice for next week is assigned. Control group intervention follows the same time and procedure but the materials are non-auditory puzzles (Sudoku, Cross Word Puzzles, Spot the Difference, Ken-Ken and Word Search).
