Participate?
Great that you would like to learn more about participating in our study!
Can I participate?
For this study, we are looking for families with children between 3 and 6 years of age who speak and/or hear both Dutch and Turkish, English or Polish at home. We also invite families with bilingual children with developmental language disorder (DLD) to participate. For families with children with DLD all second languages besides Dutch are welcome.” “Children with DLD between 3 and 6.5 years of age can participate. Do you think that your family could contribute to our study? Please contact us.
What does participation entail?
This study started in the spring of 2022. We’re still looking for participants. If you participate, a researcher will make appointments with you to visit you at home. These appointments will take no longer than 2 hours each. This will also include time to get to know each other and to take breaks. We plan these appointments at times that work well for you.
Families can participate in four appointments: two in 2022/2023 and two in 2023/2024. Families with children who are already 4 or 5 years old can participate in two appointments in 2022.
A researcher will come to your home for these appointments. The researcher will administer questionnaires with the parents. They will also ask you to make one day of audio recordings in your home. Of course, the audio recordings will be made in a child-friendly and non-invasive way. Besides this, the researcher will do several tasks with your child in addition to the questionnaires and home-recordings. These tasks are designed as ‘games’ and, generally speaking, children enjoy participating.
For your time and effort you will receive €15 per appointment. If you participate in four appointments, you will receive €60 for participating in this research project.
