Down Syndrome Research

We are committed to improving outcomes for children with Down syndrome. In the Esbensen Lab, research focuses on how we assess constructs of cognition, executive functioning, and developmental skills among individuals with Down syndrome.

Ongoing research includes:

  • Evaluating cognitive and executive functioning measures in children and young adults with Down syndrome
  • Measuring behavioral challenges in children and adolescents with Down syndrome
  • Tracking developmental skills in younger children with Down syndrome
