Objective

The goal of this study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of an attention training intervention as a potential treatment for brain fog symptoms (forgetfulness, confusion, or lack of focus) experienced by people with Long-Covid. 

Participants in this study will be asked to complete 2-4 sessions in which their memory and thinking abilities will be tested (2 hours each).

Depending on the group they are allocated to, most participants will also be instructed on how to complete a computerized program that aims to improve attention. They will be working on this program at home for 40 min a day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. During this time, they will meet with a speech therapist three times per week, at least one meeting per week will be in person at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. 

Please fill out the screening survey to see if you qualify for the study.

Research Survey: Answer questions about your experience receiving Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS)

The purpose of this study is to test a set of surveys designed to determine if Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are person-centered. Person-centered HCBS are based on what is important to the person receiving the services and are designed to help the recipient live the life they want to live. In order to determine if HCBS are person-centered, a set of surveys has been developed to measure the person-centeredness (or not) of HCBS. You will be helping to see if the surveys measure what they are intended to measure.
You will be asked questions about your daily life and your experience using HCBS.
