Families with Young Children Needed for Language Study!

Overview

DO YOU HAVE A CHILD AGE 27 - 32 MONTHS? Join Our Study!
 
Researchers at Purdue University are inviting families with toddlers (27 - 32 months) to join a study exploring how children learn language over time. 
 
We plan to follow families as their children grow from 27-32 months to four years old.  Families who take part will help us learn about the many ways children can succeed at language learning.  We want to improve how we identify which children should receive additional support before school.

Description

Who can participate?
 
Families with a 27 - 32 month-old child who is:
  • Learning English at home 
  • Has normal hearing and vision
  • Does not have any diagnosed cognitive or neurological issues (such as Fragile X., ASD, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI))
What's Involved?
  • Online surveys every 3 months
  • In-person visits every 6 months at your choice of location - Indianapolis or West Lafayette/Purdue campus
  • Visits include caregiver and child participation
  • Visits will be scheduled at a convenient time for you
Why Participate and Compensation
 
Families can consult with a Speech-Language Pathologist about their child's language development.  They will learn about their child's language skills over time, and contribute valuable information that can help children and families in the future!
  • Participants will receive up to $370 in cash and gift cards for completing the whole study
  • Additional compensation up to $80 for completing optional, extra parts of the study
  • Free parking is available at study sites
