    Are you a parent with a child younger than 18 years, either typically or atypically developing?  Are you and your child interested in becoming involved in research?  Are you looking for fun and interesting activities to try with your children? 

    If so, sign your family up for UCONN K.I.D.S. (Kids in Developmental Science), an exciting new initiative and research participant contact database!  UCONN K.I.D.S. is a consortium of research labs at the University of Connecticut Storrs and Waterbury branches.  Our research labs vary in research focus but are unified in exploring these topics in children of all ages.  A few among many research topics include language development, hearing loss, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. 

    Joining UCONN K.I.D.S. allows us to contact you (via mail, email or phone) about particular studies that your children are eligible for. 

    Compensation may be offered to parents and children for particular research studies that they participate in.
