Upcoming Research Projects
Please note that whilst 21 Together supports the aims of these studies, the research teams provide any text describing/advertising the study, and we, as a charity, have no involvement.
Pearson Assessment UK, develop and distribute assessments for professionals in psychology, allied health, general education, special needs education, and other areas serving people of all ages and cultures. For their current project, they will ask individuals to solve puzzles, answer general knowledge questions and test their memory skills. There will be 2 assessment sessions, each should take around 1 to 2 hours and will take place either at home or at a local public location. The tests will be conducted by a trained professional (with an enhanced DBS), who will ask you to complete some activities assessing memory and cognitive skills.
What will you receive in return?
After each session, you will be offered a Gift Card to thank you for your participation (total £200) - £75 after the first session and £125 after the second session. To find out where you can redeem your Gift Card click here.

A PhD Candidate working in the field of child language development at King's College London is conducting research to understand better how bilingual children who have Down syndrome develop English while using other language(s) at home. She is looking to recruit children and young people with Down syndrome aged 5 to 16 who wish to participate in the study. They do not need to be bilingual to participate. Participants will be asked to do some activities, and we will assess their language and cognitive skills. It will take 2-3 hours in total, depending on the breaks the participant needs, and will be completed in 2-3 sessions. View Research Poster. View Research Description.

She’s looking for adolescents with Down’s syndrome in secondary school. View Research Poster. View Research Description.
