Real Life Science

This week interns from the Massachusetts General Hospital Health Institute will be
at Sweetsir School conducting research on language development.  Selected students will have an opportunity to experience "real life science" by spending about 15 minutes answering questions on a computer. Helping with this research is extremely important since the data collected may be used to help future teachers and health professionals understand more about autism and other communication disorders. This is the third year the Sweetsir School has helped MGH speech and language pathology students with their graduate studies.  To view the article printed in the Daily News about their first visit go to:  http://bit.ly/wTyH32

Participation in this research project is completely voluntary and requires parental permission.  If your child is in one of the selected classrooms (Belmont, Rowley, Hitchcock and Caproni), consent forms need to be returned by this Monday, March 5th.
