The Sunday Star-Times wants to hear from children about how they've been impacted by Covid-19 and lockdown. Perhaps they've learned more about hand washing and germs, or maybe they want to talk about having mum or dad home more often, or learning from home. Kids can write a sentence or two to be included in print by emailing kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, by Friday, July 10, at 5pm. Their first names and ages may be used in print. Parents, if you're happy for your children to be photographed please let us know.

Hello everyone,

My name is Ashkan and I am a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Psychology, the University of Auckland (UOA).

My colleagues and I are conducting a brain imaging study on children with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). In New Zealand, 6.2% of kids are diagnosed with APD, and our study will enable a greater understanding of the brain's functional mechanism in these children with the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique.

In order to conduct the study, we are looking for children:

Between 9 and 13 years old
Have normal hearing abilities
or
Diagnosed with APD

The study will take place in one single session which includes 25 min MRI scan (without any task) and a hearing assessment (30 min) at Grafton campus, the UOA. We will reimburse you and your child's time to help you out with travel costs and also parking will be available for you.

We would appreciate your time and support in helping us to conduct our study. Please check out the link below if you are interested:
