The effect of the intervention was evaluated on cognition, communication, and social function. Phase I was a multi-phase parallel study (n=38). The purpose of the study was to assess feasibility and preliminary efficacy by conducting an 8-week intervention with the participants. The study employed a single-group pretest-posttest evaluation. Phase II evaluated acceptability and performed a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted by a purposively selected subsample (N=8).
