简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to investigate perinatal, cognitive and social-emotional correlates of neurodevelopmental disorders and educational difficulties in children and adolescents.
The study group consist of minimal 500 childrens over 5 years of age who will be examined by qualified diagnosticians. Participants will be evaluated with tasks related to the studied variables: cognitive functioning, social-emotional functioning. Furthermore informations regarding social-emotional functioning of children, will be collected from parents and teachers.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is there a relationship between perinatal factors and the risk of occurrence of neurodevelopmental disorders and/or learning difficulties?
- Is there a specific pattern of cognitive functioning in children and adolescents with indicated neurodevelopmental disorders and/or learning difficulties?
- Is there a specific pattern of social-emotional functioning in children and adolescents with indicated neurodevelopmental disorders and/or learning difficulties?
- Do gender and age moderates specific patterns of cognitive and social-emotional functioning in the studied groups?
Researchers will compare the following groups of children over 5 years old:
-
With perinatal risks factors
-
With neurodevelopmental disorders:
-
Developmental learning disorder
-
Disorder of intellectual development, mild
-
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
-
Autism spectrum disorder
-
With Learning difficulties
-
Control group
