Your Experience Matters: Join Our Study on AI and Down Syndrome Representation

Hi everyone!

I’m currently working on my master’s thesis at Northeastern University and also assisting Professor Mirjana Prpa on a research study about how AI represents people with Down syndrome.

We’re developing a tool called Persona-L that uses language models (like ChatGPT) to generate respectful and accurate personas. We want to make sure they reflect real experiences, not stereotypes.

We’re looking to speak with:

• Family or professional caregivers who have experience supporting individuals with Down syndrome
• Speech-language pathologists (SLPs)
• Behavioural therapists

If this sounds like you or you know someone who might be interested — we’d love for you to fill out this quick screening survey (and feel free to share!):

Your perspective could really help shape how AI understands and represents the Down syndrome community. Thank you so much!
