Down syndrome research studies | UC Davis MIND Institute

• 4-25 years old
• fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, and intellectual disability

Study on at-home caregiver-implemented language testing for individuals with Down syndrome. Our team is looking for ways to help English and Spanish speaking families be part of future treatment studies without the need to travel to a clinic or research center. The caregiver will be trained to complete a language activity with the individual with Down syndrome.

Families may qualify if the individual with Down syndrome:

• is between 12.00 - 35.99 years old
• speaks English or Spanish as their primary language
• speaks using 2 - 3 word phrases or more
