Project Description

Led by Anne Smith and Christine Weber (previously publishing as Weber-Fox), co-Principal Investigators, this project followed almost 200 children (CWS n=125 [27 F; 98 M]; TD n=70 [23 F; 47 M] for three years, starting at age 3;5 (age at first visit) to age 6;11. Key publications providing more detailed information about this project can be found in the articles referenced above which detail factors significant in predicting recovery/persistence in CWS by the ages of 4 and 5 years.
