Participate in a study of language and learning in Noonan syndrome!

Families of children and young adults with Noonan syndrome ages 1-25 are invited to participate in a research study to investigate communication and literacy in NS. This research is being conducted by Rene Pierpont, M.S., as part of a doctoral dissertation at the University of Wisconsin.

Individuals ages 1-3:


Parents of infants and toddlers with NS can participate in this research by filling out a set of questionnaires about their child’s language development and learning. These questionnaires take about 45-60 min. to fill out and can be completed through the mail. Families will receive $15 upon completion of the questionnaires.

Individuals ages 4-25:


Children and adolescents can be involved in this study by participating in a set of activities involving communication and learning. The activities will include things like listening to sentences, talking about your interests, reading letters or words, and answering questions. The research takes about 2-3 hours for each child/adolescent in the study and must be completed at one of our research sites. Currently we have 4 different research sites across the USA. Parents will also be asked to fill out a set of questionnaires to supply further information, which takes about 30 minutes. Families will receive $50 for completing the study.

Families may contact the researcher directly to enroll in one of the studies:
