The University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Alabama are conducting a study on reading skills in individuals with Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and typical development, and we are looking for children and adolescents with Down syndrome, and/or intellectual disabilities, or typical development to participate! With your help, we can better understand reading abilities, including both strengths and weaknesses in this population
This study is looking for the following types of participants:
- Individuals with Down syndrome ages 9-16 years old
- Individuals with intellectual disabilities ages 9-16 years old
- Typically developing individuals ages 6-10 years old
Participating children and adolescents will complete reading, language and cognitive assessments. Also parents and primary caregivers will complete a background questionnaire. Families will earn a $40 gift card for participating. If you think you might be interested in participating, please vintage D.
