Adult participants required for university research
Participants required for Dyspraxia Research
I am a dyspraxic psychology student at Hull University studying the effect of dyspraxia on comprehension. Participants in my study will be asked to complete three online tasks (two reading comprehension and one listening comprehension). The tasks will take 10-15 mins in total.
Your identity will be kept anonymous and you may withdraw from the study at any time. The study has been given ethical approval and can be validated by my supervisor at the psychology department at Hull University.
If you are willing to take part in my study then please email me and I will send you the link to the tasks, along with full instructions.
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Thank you

I am an adult with dyspraxia and would be happy to participate in your research.
If you have not already done so you might like to get in touch with Mary Colley who runs the charity DANDA. As I am sure she will know other people who would be interested in any part of your research.

If you still need volunteers, I would be happy to participate. Just so you know, I am waiting on a number of responses from different neuro. departments here in the Upper Midwest and have not actually been formally diagnosed with dyspraxia, but having spoken with and emailing with support groups and individuals from here in the U.S. and in the U.K. it seems fairly certain that is what I have...do not want to waste your time if you need someone who has a written diagnosis.

HI, my son has not been officially diagnosed with dyspraxia, he is 25 years old and often feels desperate about how hard life is to the point of suicide. He is dyspraxic
