Purpose: The present study explored the extent to which early prelinguistic communication skills predict expressive language in toddlers with autistic siblings (Sibs-autism), who are known to be at high likelihood for autism and language disorder, and a comparison group of toddlers with non-autistic older siblings (Sibs-NA). Method: Participants…

Does Phonetic Repertoire in Minimally Verbal Autistic Preschoolers Predict the Severity of Later Expressive Language Impairment?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Saul, Jo; Norbury, Courtenay – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Trajectories of expressive language development are highly heterogeneous in autism. Yoder et al. found that parental responsiveness, child response to joint attention, child communicative intent and consonant inventory were unique predictors of expressive language growth in minimally verbal preschoolers 16 months later (n = 87). This study applied…

Nowell, Sallie W.; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Baranek, Grace T.; Faldowski, Richard A.; Turner-Brown, Lauren – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand how joint attention and sensory-regulatory features are related in early childhood and predict language and social-communication outcomes in preschool in order to build mechanistic theories that can inform early intervention directed at improving these outcomes. Method: Cross-lagged panel…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Manwaring, Stacy S.; Mead, Danielle L.; Swineford, Lauren; Thurm, Audrey – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2017
Background: Nonverbal communication abilities, including gesture use, are impaired in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, little is known about how common gestures may influence or be influenced by other areas of development. Aims: To examine the relationships between gesture, fine motor and language in young children with ASD compared with a…

Predicting Language Outcomes for Internationally Adopted Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Glennen, Sharon L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: Language and speech are difficult to assess in newly arrived internationally adopted children. The purpose of this study was to determine if assessments completed when toddlers were first adopted could predict language outcomes at age 2. Local norms were used to develop early intervention guidelines that were evaluated against age 2…

Watt, Nola; Wetherby, Amy; Shumway, Stacy – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive validity of a collection of prelinguistic skills measured longitudinally in the 2nd year of life to language outcome in the 3rd year in children with typical language development. Method: A collection of prelinguistic skills was assessed in 160 children early (M = 14.31 months; SD =…
