Healthy Development and Resiliency

The SEND Lab @ MSU in Grand Rapids is studying the healthy development of infants and mothers who may be facing a variety of challenges. You and your infant (less than 3.5 months of age) may be eligible for our study.

This research is being done to learn more about healthy baby development and growth. Our study will take place across the first two years of your infant's life, over several 1-2 hour appointments, as your baby achieves milestones to determine if the measures we collect at each time point are related. During the visits we will ask you to fill out a few questionnaires, observe you and your child during play, and show your baby some videos while we record their eye movements.

If you are interested in participating in the study, you may view/download our recruitment flyer below for more information and Contact the SEND Lab for eligibility!
