Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Specific Aim 1: To assess the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based, computerized attention training program with survivors of central nervous system (CNS) impacting pediatric cancer (e.g. acute lymphocyte leukemia \[ALL\], brain tumors). Specific Aim 2: To estimate the effect size of this attention training program with survivors of childhood cancer to determine whether a larger-scale clinical trial is warranted.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. A T-score greater than the 75th percentile on either the Cognitive Problems/Inattention or the DSM-IV Inattention subscales of the Conners' Parent Rating Scale 2. One or more standard deviations below the mean on the Working Memory Index of the WISC-IV or a Working Memory Index that is one or more standard deviations below the participant's estimated IQ. These criteria are based on the eligibility criteria used in the largest trial to date of psychostimulant methylphenidate (MPH; commonly known as Ritalin) with survivors of childhood cancer. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Estimated IQ ≤ 70 2. Motor, visual, or auditory handicap that prevents computer use 3. A diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), depression, autism, or pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) 4. Insufficient fluency in English. Participants who are currently taking stimulant medications (stable dose for at least 30 days) for attentional difficulties, but who meet inclusion criteria will be allowed to participate.
