This is a randomized study to compare Compensatory Cognitive Training (CCT) versus
Recreational Therapy (RT) in Latino clinical high risk individuals in the US and Mexico.

Study hypotheses: Compared to those who receive RT, study participants receiving CCT will
show significant improvement in neurocognition, functional capacity, self-rated functioning
and clinical measures.
