Studies which are Now Recruiting

The team is interested in studying the early development of language and motor skills in children with and without Down Syndrome.

The goal of this study is to understand the development of challenging behaviors in children with Down syndrome. Caregivers will complete questionnaires about their child. Children will take part in an in-person EEG and problem-solving task visit.

This research study is investigating how six months of oxygen treatment while sleeping affects individuals 5 to 17 years old with Down syndrome. The study will look at sleep, breathing, heart function, quality of life, and whether the treatment if it makes them feel better. The team also wants to see if the oxygen helps decrease the severity of participants' obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

This observational study will help researchers better understand the everyday movements and activities of infants younger than 12 months (adjusted for prematurity) with Down syndrome and track their motor skills over time.

The goal of this study is to learn about differences in thinking, learning, and behavior for individuals with Down syndrome with and without a history of childhood cancer; we are recruiting parents and caregivers of individuals with Down syndrome and no history of childhood cancer for this part of the study.

This study investigates brain changes related to development in children and adults with Down syndrome.

This is a VIRTUAL 3-month intervention study of the effects of a smartphone application (HippoCamera) on personal event memory in teens and young adults with Down syndrome.

This study aims to teach us how to improve services for individuals with Down syndrome who find it hard to be understood through speech and/or experience regular problems with choking on food or liquid. We also seek to understand how the brain helps to control swallowing and speech production.

This study aims to understand how infants and toddlers with Down syndrome, aged 10 to 22 months, develop the ability to walk using mobility devices. The findings will help shape early interventions that support walking development.
