Come have a drink, have a bite, fraternize and mingle. Free to SAS students with Penn ID and $5 for anyone else. Prepare thee also to show 21+ IDs at the door.
3. Penn Infant Language Center wants YOU (and YOUR BABY):
The PENN Infant Language Center wants to observe babies and young children react to known and new words. They hope the findings will contribute to knowledge of normal language development, and ultimately benefit children at risk for language problems. Observing youngsters may even lead to better and more reliable early interventions for children with language difficulties.
Please get in touch!.
Contact Katie or the Language Center at 215-746-0060, or by email at infant@psych.upenn.edu.
You can also check out their web-site at www.psych.upenn.edu/infant
