Howard, Jill; Herold, Brianna; Major, Samantha; Leahy, Caroline; Ramseur, Kevin, II; Franz, Lauren; Deaver, Megan; Vermeer, Saritha; Carpenter, Kimberly L. H.; Murias, Michael; Huang, Wei Angel; Dawson, Geraldine – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Although it has been found that autistic children exhibit delays in executive function abilities and atypical patterns of attention, less is known about the relationship between executive function and attention abilities and social and language skills in early childhood. In this study, 180 autistic children, age 2-8 years, participated in a study…

Dykens, Elisabeth; Hodapp, Robert; Evans, David – Down Syndrome Research and Practice, 2006
The profiles and developmental trajectories of adaptive behavior were cross-sectionally examined in 80 children with Down syndrome ages 1 to 11.5 years using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. Profile findings indicated a significant weakness in communication relative to daily living and socialization skills. Within communication itself,…
