Leeds Child Development Unit

Does sleep help children learn to read? We are recruiting for an online study. Children will be given a £5 amazon voucher to say thank you.
We are still looking for a *few more* children aged 9-11 to take part. Children will complete a short reading task via video call and then some online experiments over 1 or 2 days. Our research aims to investigate how and when children learn to recognise words by sight and whether sleep is important for this. For more information please email us: [email protected]

Can you help? We are looking for parents of a young person with Autism, or individuals with Autism (16yrs+) themselves, who speak more than one language. We have created a short survey to find out more about their experiences of multi-lingualism. More information and the survey can be found here:

Please share our survey and help us to reach as many families as possible. Thank you!

* NOW RECRUITING FAMILIES WITH 8 - 36 MONTH-OLD CHILDREN *

With our collaborators at Oxford Brookes University, we are running a new study to investigate how quarantine and social distancing measures might affect development in children aged between 8 and 36 months old.

This study involves you as a parent/guardian completing two online questionnaires about you and your child. You will also be asked to play a number of simple games with your child.

The first questionnaire should be completed as soon as possible after you register. The second will be sent you to once social distancing rules are lifted and schools and nurseries reopen.

Thanks to the support of the ESRC (our funding agency), we will be able to compensate your time by giving you a £30 Amazon voucher once you complete the second questionnaire.

We would really appreciate your collaboration and your time in helping us to understand how the lockdown affects infant and toddler development.
