Is your child very bothered by certain sensations?

Our research group at the Bradley/Hasbro Children’s Research Center is looking for children 7-12 years old who are bothered by sensory experiences to participate in a study. Common bothersome sensations include, but are not limited to: 

  • Particular clothing textures or tightness 

  • Substances that feel sticky, oily, or wet 

  • Common household, food, or bodily smells 

  • Loud noises or alarms 

  • Activities such as hair brushing or showering

The study involves a phone screen with a parent and an in-person assessment with a parent and child for those eligible. Children with autism or pervasive developmental disorders are not eligible for this study.
Compensation for time and parking will be provided for the in-person assessment.
