Researchers seek children for study

Kansas University researchers are seeking children to participate in a study focusing on the use of electronic communication devices in play.

The researchers are looking for children between the ages of 4 and 7 who have been diagnosed with a developmental disability, have language delays, use fewer than 25 words and have motor skills to directly select items on a touch screen.

The researchers also are seeking children who have no communication challenges to participate in the study as peer playmates.

The research will take place on the KU campus.
