The University of Denver (DU) is going to be doing a study on Down syndrome and how younger kids learn (and could learn better). The age bracket for the study is 2.5 - 5 years old - from my understanding, the study will be 10 months long and we will be monitored a few times during this time. I will be trained a particular way to read a story (I believe it's just reading, but will find out more later) - from what it sounds like, this way of reading/teaching will help Libby to learn better.
I talked to one of the leaders this afternoon and we are eligible and I will meet with the head of the study on 11/24 to get all of the information that I need (they are also sending me a bunch in the mail as well).
Here's a link to the news story about it:

I will update as much as I can on this topic - it definitely intrigues me!! I hope this helps Libby!!!
