This study is looking at a digital program called Cogmed+ to help children and teenagers with sickle cell disease improve their working memory. Working memory is a type of short-term memory that helps us remember and use information. Many young people with sickle cell disease can have problems with their working memory. Cogmed+ is a home-based program on a tablet that uses fun exercises to train these memory skills. This study wants to see if Cogmed+ is practical and helpful, and if participants will stick with the program. You might be able to join if you are 7 to 16 years old, have sickle cell disease, and have some challenges with your working memory. The study will measure how many participants complete the Cogmed+ training, attend a social event, and participate in memory strategy training.
