Waitlist Participants are first allocated to a waitlist condition. After the first MRI scan, participants "wait" for 12 weeks and have a second MRI scan.
Upon completion on the waitlist time of 12 weeks, participants then are allocated to the treatment group. 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 third MRI scan.
