RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS NEEDED!
Music Cognition Lab researchers invite parents/caregivers and their child with (up to 36 months old) to participate in an intervention study to support children’s imitation, communication, and social skill development.

Children receive assessments of their developmental and social communication skills and participate in weekly play-based intervention sessions with a therapist. Families receive feedback on their child’s development and can receive a written report with results and recommendations, as well as intervention sessions, at no cost.
