Youth who are language minorities in Quebec: using a Bioecological model to examine language development, access to services, and well-being (MLyouth)

What's the study about?

We examine the language development, cognitive development, and well-being of 14- to 18-year-old adolescents in Quebec who are, or who are not, on the autism spectrum, and those who are, or who are not minority language speakers. The study is conducted entirely in French and includes two visits to our lab in downtown Montreal (metro McGill), each lasting approximately two hours.

Nous examinons le développement du langage, le développement cognitif et le bien-être des adolescent⋅e⋅s du Québec, âgés de 14 à 18 ans, autistes ou non autistes, qui parlent le français comme langue maternelle (ou en plus d’autres langues). L’étude se fera entièrement en français et comprendra deux visites de deux heures chacune à notre laboratoire situé au centre-ville (métro McGill).

Who can participate?

We are seeking participation from adolescents aged 14 to 18 who are either on the autism spectrum or who are neurotypical and who speak French as their first language or in addition to other languages.
