Information for Parents
What to Expect?
Our research assistants will contact you to screen your child’s eligibility for our studies. If your child is eligible, you will be invited to the lab and scheduled at a time that works best for you. Sessions are generally done on Mondays to Saturdays between 8:30am to 5:30pm. One study would last 20-30 minutes, but we would recommend you to allocate one hour for the session in order for us to explain the study to you and answer your questions before you sign a consent form as well as getting your child comfortable with us before beginning the session. Please refer to the image below for better understanding.
