About this trial

The goal of this study is to learn if an online computerized training program improves processing speed in children with pediatric brain tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is the cognitive intervention feasible to administer to children with brain tumors during and after cancer treatment? 2. Is the cognitive intervention acceptable to patients and caregivers? 3. Does the cognitive intervention improve neuropsychological functioning?

There is no comparison group for this study.

Participants will:

1. Complete 15 minutes of online computerized cognitive training 5 times a week for 8 weeks. 2. Have weekly check-ins with the cognitive coach. 3. Fill out acceptability surveys at the end of the cognitive intervention. 4. Complete pre- and post- neuropsychological testing.
