What is the purpose of the study?

The Neurodevelopment Research Lab is investigating the long-term effects of pretend play intervention on the development of social cognitive skills in children through young adults diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). Our previous research has explored the short-term impact of pretend play intervention on preschool to school-age children with PWS. However, as our lab continues to develop and ameliorate intervention strategies, we must investigate the validity of these interventions over time.

Who can participate?

We are looking for children through young adults (ages 8-20) diagnosed with PWS and their parent/primary caregiver to participate.

What is involved?

• Parents will complete online self-report questionnaires regarding aspects of their child’s social-cognitive functioning.
• Individuals with PWS: complete a brief virtual assessment with a researcher to evaluate various cognitive and behavioral skills.
