Risk for Severe/Profound Intellectual Disability in Down Syndrome

This project aims to identify early developmental, biomedical, and molecular indicators of risk for severe or profound intellectual disability in young children with Down syndrome (DS). Young children with DS will be assessed at three time points and cognitive outcomes will be analyzed in relation to behavioral, biomedical, and molecular risk factors. Results of this work will promote greater inclusivity in DS research and may facilitate innovations in both biomedical and behavioral intervention.
