Dr. Laura Hahn, a researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and her research team are seeking participants for a study on when 2 to 5 year-olds with intellectual and developmental disabilities begin to understand the intentional actions of others. For example, you are trying to open a jar of spaghetti sauce but are unable to open it. At what age does your child understand that what you are trying to do is open the jar?
Participation involves your child being asked to play with some toys and a developmental assessment for language and cognitive abilities. Both of these activities will take no more than 1 hour and can take place either at your home or in our lab at a time that is convenient for you (nights, weekends, afternoons). If you are interested in learning more about our study or participating please contact us at 217-265-8043 or by email at thedndlab@illinois.edu.
