Behavior, Autism and NeuroDevelopment (BAND)
Research Group, McGill University
Is recruiting children ages 3-5 years old and their parents
for a study to evaluate the effects of a home-based, parent-supported,
custom-designed, tablet application on early reading
comprehension and oral language skills.
Preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and
without ASD (typically developing), who have an interest in letters,
words, and/or an ability to read words, but have not received formal
reading instruction, and who speak English at home daily with at
least one adult since birth, are invited to participate. The study
requires the use of a tablet (iPad) and parent participation for a period
of 6 weeks, with additional participation required at 6-weeks before
and 6-weeks after the intervention. If you do not own an iPad, or do
not live in the greater Montreal area, but wish to participate, please
contact us.
Parents will receive a $25 Amazon gift card for their participation in
the study. Children will receive a small gift each week for 6 weeks of
participation, and for each evaluation session (total value $25). For
more information, or to register for the study, please contact us at
514-398-7194 or research.band@mcgill.ca
