Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hartley, Calum; Harrison, Nina; Shaw, John J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This study investigated how autism spectrum disorder (ASD) impacts children's ability to identify ownership from linguistic cues (proper nouns vs. possessive pronouns) and their awareness of ownership rights. In comparison to typically developing (TD) children matched on receptive language (M age equivalents: 53-56 months), children with ASD were…

Golden; Claire Daly; Sophia Kaiser; Nisha Mailapur; Sweeya Raj; Pooja Santapuram; Evan Suzman; Ashley E. Augustine; Aine Muhumuza; Carissa J. Cascio; Kathryn L. Williams; Anne V. Kirby; Bahar Keceli-Kaysili; Tiffany G. Woynaroski – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Early differences in sensory responsiveness may contribute to difficulties with communication among autistic children; however, this theory has not been longitudinally assessed in infants at increased familial versus general population-level likelihood for autism (Sibs-autism vs. Sibs-NA) using a comprehensive battery of sensory responsiveness and…

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,…

Allen, Korrie; Harrington, John; Quetsch, Lauren B.; Masse, Joshua; Cooke, Cathy; Paulson, James F. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
A relatively large number of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit disruptive behavioral problems. While accumulating data have shown behavioral parent training programs to be efficacious in reducing disruptive behaviors for this population, there is a dearth of literature examining the impact of such programs across the range of…

We investigated the early sociocognitive battery (ESB), a novel measure of preverbal social communication skills, in children with autism participating in the Paediatric Autism Communication Trial-Generalised (PACT-G). The associations between ESB scores, language and autism symptoms were assessed in 249 children aged 2-11 years. The results show…

Rodgers, Jonathan D.; Lodi-Smith, Jennifer; Donnelly, James P.; Lopata, Christopher; McDonald, Christin A.; Thomeer, Marcus L.; Lipinski, Alanna M.; Nasca, Brian C.; Booth, Adam J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Prior studies of sex-based differences in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have yielded mixed findings. This study examined ASD symptom severity and functional correlates in a sample of 34 high-functioning females with ASD (HFASD; M age = 8.93; M IQ = 104.64) compared to 34 matched males (M age = 8.96; M IQ = 104.44) using the Social Responsiveness…

Mody, M.; Shui, A. M.; Nowinski, L. A.; Golas, S. B.; Ferrone, C.; O'Rourke, J. A.; McDougle, C. J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have notable difficulties in motor, speech and language domains. The connection between motor skills (oral-motor, manual-motor) and speech and language deficits reported in other developmental disorders raises important questions about a potential relationship between motor skills and…
