ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "School Readiness in Children with Type 1 Diabetes," is looking at how type 1 diabetes affects young children's ability to get ready for school. Researchers want to understand how motor skills (like using their hands), sensory processing (how they respond to things like touch and sound), and overall quality of life impact these children's participation in daily activities and, ultimately, their readiness for school. This study aims to help identify ways to support preschoolers with type 1 diabetes as they prepare for this important transition.

To be eligible for this trial, children need to be between 60 to 78 months old and have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the last six months. It's important to note that children who have other developmental disorders, like cerebral palsy or Down syndrome, or those who are starting the first grade cannot participate. While the trial is not yet recruiting participants, those who join can expect to contribute to valuable research that may improve support for children with diabetes as they get ready for school.
