Do you have someone in your family with reading difficulties? We are looking for children ages 4-6 with a family history of reading difficulties for research study
What is involved? We will play computer games with your child and look at their language, reading, auditory and musical abilities. We will also look how your child’s brain processes sounds, language and pictures. We are looking for pre-reading children with a family history of reading difficulties (one parent or one sibling with reading difficulties).
Why participate? Your help will be invaluable to families and scientists interested in reading, language and cognitive development, early diagnosis of learning disabilities and improvement of teaching methods. Your child will play games and will receive a gift certificate to a local bookstore and a picture of his or her brain.
Where? Children’s Hospital Boston/Waltham; Developmental Medicine Center
When? At your convenience, weekdays or weekends.
