Findings suggest adjustments to improve efficacy and retention rates, and that the SMART-d is a feasible and acceptable cognitive rehabilitation intervention for paediatric survivors of acquired brain injury.
Abstract
This study examined the feasibility of the Swedish Memory and Attention ReTraining - digital edition (SMART-d), an online paediatric cognitive rehabilitation intervention combining direct training with metacognitive and behaviour modification strategies over the course of 5 weeks, 5 days a week. Six children/adolescents treated for paediatric brain tumour (PBT) participated in the study, four completing all five SMART-d training weeks (67%). Findings suggest adjustments to improve efficacy and retention rates, and that the SMART-d is a feasible and acceptable cognitive rehabilitation intervention for paediatric survivors of acquired brain injury. Further investigation within a larger scale randomized clinical trial (RCT) is warranted.
