Social cognitive strengths and difficulties in Down syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome

What is the study about? We want to find out about possible strengths and difficulties in social abilities among children and young people with Down Syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome, and how these may relate to autism traits.

​

Who can take part? Individuals with Down Syndrome or Prader-Willi syndrome aged 4-17-years-old.

​

What does it involve? Overall, the whole study takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete. This can be conducted over multiple sessions. A £20 Amazon voucher and personalised feedback report will be given to the parent/carer. Children and young people will receive a small toy and certificate to say thank you for their participation.
