Interventions
Brain computer interface
Families will first complete an in-person visit to review available activities, set their first goals, and learn to use BCI independently. A BCI "kit" will be given to each family, with a headset and the equipment and software required to pursue their identified goals. Following this, families will participate in 12 virtual sessions over 3-6 months. Scheduling will be flexible to accommodate complex family needs. Daily online support will be provided via a messaging application. Participants who choose to continue using BCI beyond 12 sessions will be provided kits and supported.
