Read our Sickle Cell Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a school readiness program designed specifically for parents of young children (ages 3.5 to 6.5) who have sickle cell disease. Half of the families will participate in an 8-week virtual summer program led by teachers and social workers, while the other half will receive standard school resources. The study measures whether this specialized program helps children develop early math and reading skills, improves their behavior, and strengthens the parent-child relationship.
Children with sickle cell disease may face extra challenges when starting school due to their medical needs and possible school absences. This trial exists to see whether giving parents practical tools and support during the summer before school starts can help their children be better prepared and more successful in the classroom.

If you are selected for the intervention group, you and your child will attend eight virtual classroom sessions during the summer, each lasting about 1.5 hours. You will meet with a teacher or social worker and other parents of children with sickle cell disease. Before and after the program, you and your child will complete assessments that measure school readiness skills like early math and reading, your child's behavior, and your relationship with your child. After the sessions end, you will have a brief interview (15–20 minutes) to share your feedback about the program.
