Direct linkPrescott, Kathryn E.; Ellis Weismer, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study investigated receptive and expressive language outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with and without a history of language/communication regression, employing three progressively less stringent definitions of regression. Data were derived from a large, longitudinal sample of children with ASD in which regression was…

Maltman, Nell; Friedman, Laura; Lorang, Emily; Sterling, Audra – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and fragile X syndrome (FXS) are neurodevelopmental disorders with overlapping pragmatic language impairments. Prior work suggests pragmatic language differences may run in families. This study examined specific pragmatic difficulties (i.e., linguistic mazes and perseverations) in boys (9-18 years) with idiopathic…

Silva, Daniela P.; Fiske, Kate E. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2021
Researchers widely assert that requiring eye contact from students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) before instruction is highly important to the outcome of teaching (Greer and Ross in Verbal behavior analysis, Pearson Education, New York, 2008; Lovaas in J Consult Clin Psychol 55(1):3-9, 1977. https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-006x.55.1.3).…

Looking to the mouth of a talker early in life predicts expressive communication. We hypothesized that looking at a talker's mouth may signal that infants are ready for increased supported joint engagement and that it subsequently facilitates prelinguistic vocal development and translates to broader gains in expressive communication. We tested…

Cook, Alexandria; Quinn, Emily D.; Rowland, Charity – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Individuals with a comorbid diagnosis of Down syndrome (DS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been found to exhibit greater deficits in expressive communication than individuals with DS only. We hypothesized that individuals with a comorbid diagnosis (n = 430) would have significantly lower Communication Matrix scores and specifically social…

McDaniel, Jena; Yoder, Paul; Estes, Annette; Rogers, Sally J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
The Early Communication Indicator (ECI) was designed to measure expressive communication progress in young children. We evaluated using the 6-min ECI procedure for a new purpose--a sampling context for stable measures of vocal development of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We evaluated how many ECI sessions were required to…

Sengül, Yasemin; Ökcün-Akçamus, Meral Çilem; Bakkaloglu, Hatice – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2021
The aim of this study was to examine classification accuracy for the expressive language skills of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in terms of object play and imitation scores. A total of 61 children with ASD, who were 2.0-5.11 years old, were included in the study. In order to collect data play and imitation assessment tasks which…

McFayden, Tyler C.; Fok, Megan; Ollendick, Thomas H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The current study investigated the impact of birth order on vocabulary and social language development in 1338 first-born and 1049 s-born autistic youth (M age = 9.03 years, SD = 3.57; 86.4% male) from the Simons Simplex Collection. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses revealed mixed findings in language development. There were no differences in…

Our aim was to explore insights from clinical practice that may inform efforts to understand and account for factors that predict spoken language outcomes for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder who use minimal verbal language. We used a qualitative design involving three focus groups with 14 speech pathologists to explore their views and…

Aljohani, Wafa A.; Javed, Asim; Ferguson, Julia L.; Cihon, Joseph H.; Milne, Christine M.; Leaf, Justin B. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2022
This study compared simultaneous prompting with an error correction procedure for teaching three children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder expressive labels. Using a parallel treatment design nested within a multiple probe design, the researchers taught each participant how to expressively label pictures of sports teams or cartoon…

Haebig, Eileen; Jiménez, Eva; Cox, Christopher R.; Hills, Thomas T. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder often have significant language delays. But do they learn language differently than neurotypical toddlers? We compared the lexical skills of 64 preverbal and minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder to 461 vocabulary-size-matched typically developing toddlers. We also examined social features…

Although water-based approaches have been shown to be beneficial for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), no study thus far has directly investigated the effects of such intervention programs on language skills. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the Aquatic Speech and Language Therapy (ASLT) program, which is a new,…

Ramos-Cabo, Sara; Acha, Joana; Vulchanov, Valentin; Vulchanova, Mila – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Evidence shows that the relation with the referent (object manipulation, contact/no contact pointing) and the different hand features (index finger/open palm) when pointing indicate different levels of cognitive and linguistic attainment in typical development (TD). This evidences the close link between pointing, cognition and language…

Williams, Marian E.; Stein Duker, Leah I.; Vigen, Cheryl L. P.; Wylde, Chelsey; Cermak, Sharon A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Assessment of anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) most commonly includes parent questionnaires. However, due to the nature of the questions and verbal limitations often present in children with ASD, caregivers may have difficulty completing such measures. Caregivers of 144 children with ASD ages 6 to 12 completed the Child and…

Thurman, Angela John; Swinehart, Stephanie Summers; Klusek, Jessica; Roberts, Jane E.; Bullard, Lauren; Marzan, Jocelyn Christina B.; Brown, W. Ted; Abbeduto, Leonard – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2022
By adulthood, most males with fragile X syndrome (FXS) require support to navigate day-to-day settings. The present study cross-sectionally: (1) characterized the profile of daily living skills in males with FXS and (2) examined associated participant characteristics (i.e., fragile X mental retardation protein [FMRP] expression, nonverbal…
