THE COGNITIVE VARIABILITY STUDY

A Research Study on Cognitive Abilities & Depression in Children Ages 10-18  with Developmental Disabilities

We are looking for children ages 10-18 who have a developmental disability/mental retardation, with a mental age of 6-10 years with or without a history of depression.  We are studying cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving, which often vary when an individual is depressed.

Study visits take place at the Shriver Center in Waltham.  Transportation is available and parking is free.  Families will receive compensation for their participation.
