Comparing piano training and music listening for behaviour and thinking skills in children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if music training improves behavioral or cognitive performance in children with prenatal alcohol exposure who meet research criteria for a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does music training improve behavioral regulation for children with an FASD
• Does music training improve cognitive performance (attention and working memory) for children with an FASD.

The study has two interventions for each participant: music listening and piano training. Each participant will either practice piano daily for 12 weeks or listen to pre-selected music daily for 12 weeks. The order of the interventions will be randomized across participants. Assessment will occur before and after participation in each 12 week intervention.
