For parents interested in having your children join us

First, we need to add your child(ren)'s information into our database. If you have not already done so, please fill the following parental questionnaire and return it to us either electronically (by e-mailing the lab manager) or by mail to the address above.

If we find your child(ren) suitable for our studies, we will contact you by phone or e-mail to schedule a testing date. At this time, we will ask you to fill the language inventory and mail or e-mail it back to us.

Driving direction

There are parking spaces near the lab available for subjects visiting the lab. The campus map below (gif image, click to enlarge) shows in yellow paths two ways to access the parking spaces, from north by N. Charles St and from south by N. Howard St. Be aware that the junction between Art Museum Dr and Wyman Park Dr are one-way (circled, expanded). Follow the purple arrows if you come from N. Howard St and black arrows if you come from Art Museum Dr. Our lab is in Krieger Hall, the building marked 25 on map. The parking spots are at the back of Krieger Hall, so you will see a loading dock on your left and another ahead of you between buildings 25 and 24. There are no spots marked for our lab; park on any spot near the end of the road that is not reserved for delivery trucks or wheelchair access. When you arrive, please call 410-516-7569, and one of us will meet you at the parking lot. Please be reminded that our parking spaces are at a different location from the Language and Cognition Lab parking spaces. We recommend double-checking which lab you have an appointment with.
