# Overview The downward extension of LEVANTE includes altering and adapting tasks, which are currently designed for 5-12 year old children, for use with 2-5 year old children. This will entail changes predominantly in the core-tasks repository. Children in the downward extension will be expected to be guided through the tasks by an adult researcher or parent, and will not interact with the dashboard independently. The downward extension should be ready for testing in full by end of November 2025, with data collection to commence in January 2026. Refer to the [Downward extension planning document on Notion](https://www.notion.so/Downward-extension-planning-9-25-272244e26d9b802488e9c2eedcd9bc6e?source=copy_link) for detailed task specifications and discussion.
