| | | | We are pleased to report that the NIH Directors who make up the Neuroscience Blueprint have approved funding the Toolbox “Pediatric Option.” Therefore we are “full speed ahead” on the development, validation and norming of instruments for children as young as 3 years of age. We have been presented with a truly exciting opportunity to demonstrate the validity of these efforts in pediatric populations and look forward to expanding our focus on this project. |
