Brief Summary
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.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Children must receive a research designation of FASD * Children must have confirmed prenatal alcohol exposure Exclusion Criteria: * Children with other confirmed developmental disorders that are not deemed associated with FASD (e.g. autism spectrum disorder, Down Syndrome). Children with attention deficits (e.g. ADHD) are not excluded. * Children with neurological disorders (epilepsy, cerebral palsy, etc.) * Children who have experienced a traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness \>10 minutes * Children with intelligence quotient scores \<70 * Children who are, or become, a ward of the state; however children with a legal representative who can consent on their behalf will not be excluded * Children with ongoing music training outside of school or \>1 year of prior private music lessons.
