They are recruiting boys with Down syndrome, who are 6 to 16 years of age and speaking in three or more word sentences.

As a participant in these studies, your child will receive speech, language and developmental assessments. The visit can take place in your home, your child's school, or at FPG in Chapel Hill. You will receive compensation for your participation and a short summary of our findings.

These studies are funded by the NICHD and have been approved by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Behavioral Institutional Review Board. Drs. Gary Martin and David Zajac are the principal investigators.
