The Childhood Stroke Study at The University of Chicago is recruiting individuals who experienced strokes either during birth or childhood. This project aims to determine which areas of the brain are involved in processing language following an injury to one side of the brain.

In order to help us understand how the brain re-organizes and functions after childhood stroke, the project will use brain imaging and language assessments. We are looking for people between the ages of 7-30 who experienced the brain injury before age 13 years. Individuals will undergo a brain scan (fMRI) and two sessions of standardized tests. Participants will receive $200 for participating in all sessions, plus travel expenses. The project will take place at the University of Chicago Hospitals; local travel expenses and parking will be compensated.
