University College London is investigating why some neurodivergent children have difficulty developing spoken language and how this impacts them.

They are asking for parents/carers of 4-12 year olds who are minimally verbal / non-speaking (the child should not use spoken multi-word phrases regularly) to take part in this study. The study would take place in four waves of data collection over three years. This would take up approximately 2 hours of the parent’s time and 40 minutes of the child’s time. You would receive a £25 voucher each time for your trouble.

You will be asked to complete online questionnaires and help obtain video footage of your child’s communication skills. There will be one in-person assessment for your child with a researcher either at your home or your child’s school.
