Waitlist control
Participants are randomized to treatment group. After the first MRI scan, participants are assessed by an independent occupational therapist (before and after intervention) and participate in 10 treatment sessions with a treating occupational therapist. Following the post-treatment assessment, participants have a second MRI scan. Twelve weeks later, participants have a third, follow-up scan.
Participants are randomized to the waitlist control group. After the first MRI scan, participants "wait" for 12 weeks and then have a 2nd MRI scan. Participants then have 10 treatment sessions with an occupational therapist and are assessed by an independent occupational therapist before and after treatment. Participants then have a third MRI scan to examine brain changes associated with intervention.
