Study to Explore Early Development (SEED) Follow-up Studies
Informed Consent Form for Parents and Legal Guardians
Thank you for your recent participation in the SEED Follow-up Studies. You are being invited to be in
another part of this research study. The SEED Follow-up Studies are funded by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC is a federal agency that works to improve the health and safety of
people. CDC is working with research partners across the country to conduct the study. Your
participation will help us learn how we can support different types of children and families as they
grow older.
What is the purpose of the study?
The SEED Follow-up Studies look at changes that happen between the preschool years and
adolescence and young adulthood. Some of the changes we are interested in are health, healthcare,
safety, services, and treatments. Another is how learning abilities change over time. We are inviting
you to this part of the study on changes in learning abilities now.
One of our goals is to better support people with autism and other developmental delays or disabilities
as they grow older. To reach our goals, we need different types of people and families to participate in
the study.
Why am I being asked to be in this part of the study?
You are being invited to take part in this study because you participated in SEED in the past.
Specifically, your child completed an evaluation of early learning abilities between 2 and 5 years of
age. Recently, you also completed a survey about your child’s current health and development.
What will my child have to do to be in this part of the study?
Your child will be asked to complete an evaluation of learning abilities. This involves answering
questions and completing activities like puzzles. It also involves comparing pictures presented on an
iPad. The evaluation will take up to 1.5 hours. Your child can stop the evaluation at any time without
penalty.
Why should my child be in this part of the study?
There is no personal benefit for being in this part of the study. Your child’s participation will help us
learn more about how learning abilities change over time. This information may be used to help
people with autism and other developmental delays and disabilities. One way to help people with
autism and other developmental delays and disabilities is to offer better services and treatments.
Are there any risks involved with this part of the study?
There is little risk involved with the evaluation. Your child may feel nervous working with a new
person. The person who gives the evaluation will make sure your child is comfortable before testing
begins. Your child may become tired during the evaluation. Short breaks will be given as needed. You
will receive written results from the evaluation. You may get feedback that is unexpected and/or
shows

below average skills. We will tell you how to contact someone if you have questions. You are also

given to your child. It will explain your child’s scores on each test. It will tell you how your child
performed compared to other people the same age. We encourage you to share these results with
your healthcare provider.
We will send you a study newsletter up to two times per year. It will be emailed to you, or you can find

Task Description: The NIHTB Pattern Comparison Processing Speed Test requires participants to identify whether two visual patterns

are the “same” or “not the same” (responses were made by pressing a “yes” or “no” button). Patterns were either identical or varied on
one of three dimensions: color (all ages), adding/taking something away (all ages), or one versus many (only ages 8–15 years; see
Figure 1). Scores reflected the number of correct items (of a possible 130) completed in 90 s; as described above, items were designed
to minimize the number of errors that were made (i.e., items with less than 75% accuracy during development were not included in the
final version of this task). This test takes approximately 3 min to administer.
