Current Recruitment

 

Since May 2018 we have been recruiting children attending the same schools as the children we have already seen in CALM. The purpose of this new recruitment phase is to allow us to look in detail at the extent to which the cognitive abilities, learning, behaviour and brain functioning of children referred to CALM differ from a representative sample of children of the same age.

This new phase represents an exciting time for us in developing our understanding of the cognitive and neural characteristics of children with particular profiles of learning difficulties relative to the larger school population.
