How do twin studies help families without twins?
One of the assumptions of twin studies is that twins are similar to other children, except that they share a birthday with a sibling the same age as them. Findings from twin studies are useful for understanding the development of all children. Your participation helps, as our findings educate all kinds of people who work with children. Some of those who benefit include teachers and educators, doctors, other childcare workers, those who form early intervention programs, and researchers.
