This research involves assessment of cognitive outcome in childhood cancer as well as
evaluation of a cognitive rehabilitation program for improving learning and problem solving
difficulties in children with cancer.

The purpose of this study is to help determine specific cognitive-behavioral and
neurobiologic impairments associated with chemotherapy treatments in children with cancer
and to assess the efficacy of a cognitive intervention program for improving cognitive
impairments in these children.

Inclusion Criteria:

- 5 children with any type of cancer in the initial stages of chemotherapy and/or
cranial radiation.

- 10 children with any type of cancer who have completed chemotherapy and cranial
radiation.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Children with pre-cancer/pre-chemotherapy history of brain injury, neurological,
psychiatric, neurodevelopmental and/or learning disorders including attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder will be excluded.

- Participants will be excluded for MRI contraindications such as orthodontia and
biomedical implants.

- Non-English speaking participants will be excluded due to the unavailability at this
time of translated cognitive testing and MRI assessments.
