Purpose: Gesture delay in autistic infants and toddlers has been widely reported. The developmental trajectory of gesture production during early childhood is understudied. Thus, little is known about the possible changes of gesture production over time. The present study aimed to document the development of gesture production in autistic children…

West, Kelsey L.; Roemer, Emily J.; Northrup, Jessie B.; Iverson, Jana M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Infants with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) produce fewer play actions and gestures than neurotypical infants (e.g., Mastrogiuseppe et al., 2015; Veness et al., 2012; Zwaigenbaum et al., 2005). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether different "types" of actions and gestures are more or less likely to develop…

Oner, Pinar; Oner, Ozgur; Munir, Kerim – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2014
We compared ratings on the Three-Item Direct Observation Screen test for autism spectrum disorders completed by pediatric residents with the Social Communication Questionnaire parent reports as an augmentative tool for improving autism spectrum disorder screening performance. We examined three groups of children (18-60 months) comparable in age…

Lloyd, Meghann; MacDonald, Megan; Lord, Catherine – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2013
With increased interest in the early diagnosis and treatment of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), more attention has been called to the motor skills of very young children with ASD. This study describes the gross and fine motor skills of a cross-sectional group of 162 children with ASD between the ages of 12 and 36 months, as well as…

Hurwitz, Sarah; Watson, Linda R. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2016
Differences in joint attention are prominent for some children with autism and are often used as an indicator of the disorder. This study examined the joint attention competencies of young children with autism who demonstrated joint attention ability and compared them to children with developmental delays. A total of 40 children with autism and…

Winder, Breanna M.; Wozniak, Robert H.; Parladé, Meaghan V.; Iverson, Jana M. – Developmental Psychology, 2013
Communication spontaneously initiated by infants at heightened risk (HR; n = 15) for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is compared with that in low-risk (LR; n = 15) infants at 13 and 18 months of age. Infants were observed longitudinally during naturalistic in-home interaction and semistructured play with caregivers. At both ages, HR infants…

So, Wing-Chee; Wong, Miranda Kit-Yi; Lui, Ming; Yip, Virginia – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
Previous work leaves open the question of whether children with autism spectrum disorders aged 6-12?years have delay in producing gestures compared to their typically developing peers. This study examined gestural production among school-aged children in a naturalistic context and how their gestures are semantically related to the accompanying…
