Get Involved
The YELL Lab welcomes youth and young adults with disabilities to contact us to learn more about participating in our research. Families are also encouraged to contact us directly.
The YELL Lab conducts our research at schools, community agencies, disability organizations, rehabilitation facilities, and even people’s homes!
If you are a professional working with youth and young adults with disabilities and their families, we invite you to contact us and learn more about partnering with the YELL Lab. We are happy to work with you to identify research opportunities that may be of interest to the individuals you serve and that are aligned with your mission and focus.
The YELL Lab also welcomes students from the Boston University community and the surrounding area to contact us to learn more about how to get involved in research.
