Two-week intensive brain-focused therapy program for children with neurodevelopmental and chromosomal conditions
This program will try a two-week, individualized multimodal neurorehabilitation approach for children about 4–12 years old with neurodevelopmental or chromosomal conditions to see if it improves attention, motor skills, communication, and daily functioning.
-
How phonology and sound sensitivity shape language in people with Williams syndrome
This project tries to see if sensitivity to sound (hyperacusis) and reliance on phonological short-term memory explain why people with Williams syndrome often have strong verbal skills by comparing them to individuals with Down syndrome and typically developing peers using EEG-NIRS and questionnaires.
-
Understanding Williams Syndrome and related chromosome variants
This study is looking to learn more about the development, health, and behavior of people with Williams syndrome and related chromosome changes by collecting samples and information from them and their families.
-
Inclusive physical activity program for adults with intellectual disabilities
This study is testing a new fitness program for adults with intellectual disabilities to see if it helps them be more active and feel better over 16 weeks.
-
Registry for patients with rare diseases
This study is creating a central registry for people with rare diseases to help connect them with researchers and improve treatments.
-
Examining brain changes in children with Williams syndrome
This study looks at how the brains of children with Williams syndrome and similar genetic conditions develop compared to healthy kids, using MRI scans to see the differences.
-
Investigating psychiatric and cognitive traits in specific genetic syndromes
This study is testing how certain medications can help improve mental and thinking skills in people with Velocardiofacial Syndrome, Williams Syndrome, and Fragile X Syndrome.
