Georgia Tech’s Center for Assistive Technology & Environmental Access (CATEA) is looking for children ages 5 – 8 to participate in a research study on indoor play.
Play is an important part of growing, and necessary for physical and mental development in children. Some children with disabilities are not able to participate fully in play, and may, as a result, experience further developmental delay. This project focuses on indoor play by children and how environmental barriers may limit play and social interaction.
For this research, we are recruiting children with physical disabilities ages 5 to 8 years old. The research will take place for ½ hour to an hour. The children who participate in the study will be asked to draw pictures and describe how they like to play in indoors and choose pictures of favorite play activities from a larger group of pre-selected pictures.
All participants will be compensated for their participation.
For more information, please contact
Wooyoung Sung at 404-421-9322, or wsung3@mail.gatech.edu to schedule for participation.

This is exciting. I wish that the university in my area would do research groups like this. Knowledge is power.
