Resiliency Training for Patients With Neurofibromatosis Via Videoconferencing With Skype
The aim of this study is to determine, whether the 3RP is feasible, accepted and efficacious
and durable when delivered via Skype to patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) who are
deaf or have severe hearing loss using Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART)
and/or American Sign Language (ASL).
This will be a substudy of the IRB-approved protocol #2013P002605. It is the same study
except it is looking at a particular sub-population: patients with NF2 who are hard of
hearing.
