Research Subject Opportunities
Oral Dynamics Lab
Did your child have difficulties learning to ride a bicycle, tie shoelaces, or print? OR Are you curious how your child would perform on assessments of motor and speech performance?
We are currently conducting a study exploring speech production and activity participation in children with and without motor difficulties.
Participants are asked to complete several vocalization activities while attached to motion sensors; they will also answer some questions about what type of activities they do.
A comprehensive assessment is completed by trained student occupational therapists and will include the following:
- Motor abilities
- Activity participation
- Speech production characteristics
2 sessions will be scheduled (can be combined)
- 1st session – ~1-1.5 hours at your home or the University of Toronto
- 2nd session – ~1 hour at the University of Toronto
We are looking for boys, 9 – 12 years of age, with and without motor difficulties .
