Remarks y Everyday functioning is a target of many interventions for individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities and is thus a critical domain to examine. It refers to the ways in which individuals function in everyday aspects of life and includes communication skills, socialization and daily living skills. y Cognitive interventions are a heterogeneous group of treatments to stimulate and optimize cognitive processes, such as working memory, attention, executive functions, communication and social competences, often in a simultaneous and broad manner via computerized and adaptive cognitive exercises. They can be adapted to the child’s cognitive profile. y Cognitive interventions can be delivered as components of broader comprehensive interventions targeting adaptive and life skills. y Child participants included in the review by Ahn and Hwang (2018) were younger children; in five of six studies, children were under the age of 7 at the beginning of treatment.

Implementation considerations y These interventions have been largely implemented in home- and clinic-based settings, by clinicians and trained specialists. y Caregivers are often involved in treatment, either as participants or as individuals trained to deliver the intervention strategies in the absence of the primary intervention agent.
