Recruiting Children Ages 4 - 8 Years Old for Research Study |
The Language in Motion Lab at The University of Texas at Dallas is recruiting children ages 4 - 8 years old. English-speaking children with speech and/or language difficulties and those with typical speech and language skills are invited to attend. The goal is to better understand motor and language learning. The study has from 1 to 10 sessions, each lasting about one hour. Children will receive a free speech, language, and hearing evaluation. Children will also receive a toy and parents will be paid $20 for each session. See here for more information.

Spring break is here but we are still busy working on our many research projects, preparing for a Play With Me playdate event this Friday the 17th, and prepping for a Screening Fair next weekend in collaboration with Bachman Lake Together. Many of our faculty and students have been enjoying connecting with peers and diving into science at research conferences this spring. Two of our REU student alums will be presenting their work at the Association for Psychological Science convention in May. We are proud to be promoting and disseminating developmental science with real-world impacts.
