Direct linkLim, Alliyza; Young, Robyn L.; Brewer, Neil – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We hypothesized that autistic adults may be erroneously judged as deceptive or lacking credibility due to demonstrating unexpected and atypical behaviors. Thirty autistic and 29 neurotypical individuals participated in video-recorded interviews, and we measured their demonstration of gaze aversion, repetitive body movements, literal interpretation…

Mohammadzaheri, Fereshteh; Koegel, Lynn Kern; Bakhshi, Enayatollah; Khosrowabadi, Reza; Soleymani, Zahra – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study examined the effect of Pivotal response treatment (PRT) to improve verbal initiations in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, age 6-12 years old, using a Randomized Clinical Trial design. Intervention was conducted three times a week for 2 months, for a total of 24 one-hour sessions. The PRT intervention taught a variety of questions…

Forbes, Heather J.; Travers, Jason C.; Vickers Johnson, Jenee – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) is a popular intervention for improving targeted and untargeted communication skills for learners with autism. We systematically reviewed communication outcomes reported in experimental research to determine linguistic forms and verbal behavior functions associated with PRT. We found most researchers aggregated…

Vener, Susan M.; Gillis, Alison M.; Poulson, Claire L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Catatonia is a syndrome characterized as a cluster of difficulties in verbal and motor behavior that interferes with everyday function. This study analyzed the effects of a prompt-fading behavioral treatment package on the verbal behavior of an adolescent girl with autism and catatonia. Data were collected on three verbal responses previously…

Anthony, Nicole; Bobzien, Jonna – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This research used an alternating treatment design to investigate the relative effectiveness of participant specific social stories delivered using two distinct formats (i.e., technology-based, paper/book), on increasing the frequency of initiations and responses of two adolescents with ASD. Visual analysis of baseline, intervention, maintenance,…

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…

Zampella, Casey J.; Csumitta, Kelsey D.; Simon, Emily; Bennetto, Loisa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Social partners tend to coordinate their behaviors in time. This "interactional synchrony" is associated with a host of positive social outcomes, making it ripe for study in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Twenty children with ASD and 17 typically developing (TD) children participated in conversations with familiar and unfamiliar adults.…

Espanola Aguirre, Elaine; Gutierrez, Anibal – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
The Motor and Vocal Imitation Assessment (MVIA) was developed to evaluate a proposed hierarchy of imitation skills that could be used to formulate an experimentally-validated instructional guide for intervention. Imitation performance was assessed via the MVIA in 30 typically developing (TD) children and 30 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder…

So, Wing-Chee; Song, Xue-Ke; Cheng, Chun-Ho; Law, Wing-Wun; Wong, Tiffany; Leung, Oi-Ki; Huang, Ying – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have conversation deficits, yet the growth of conversation abilities is understudied, especially in Chinese-speaking populations. Little is known about whether their parents' verbal responsiveness and redirectives are related to their conversation skills. Children with ASD (N = 37; M = 5;5) and their…

Lee, Gabrielle T.; Hu, Xiaoyi; Liu, Yanhong; Zou, Chouyun; Cheng, Xia; Zhao, Qi; Huang, Jingjing – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of intraverbal prompts on response diversity and novelty in intraverbals posed to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The intraverbal prompts involving function, feature, and class (FFC) of an item were used in the training of three questions requiring multiple responses. Two Chinese…

Linnenbank, M.; Feldmann, R.; Schulte-Körne, G.; Beimdiek, S.; Strittmatter, E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The processing speed index (PSI) of the Wechsler intelligence scale for children (WISC-IV) has been found to predict a child's level of academic functioning. The consistently reported PSI weakness in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) therefore warrants special assistance and attempts at compensation for the disadvantages associated with…

Topuz, Cetin; Ulke-Kurkcuoglu, Burcu – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of audio script and script-fading procedure in teaching initiation to children with ASD. Three children with ASD and a parent of each child participated in the study. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across children was used. The findings showed that the initiation emitted by the children…

Hutchison, Sarah M.; Müller, Ulrich; Iarocci, Grace – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Despite average or above cognitive and verbal abilities, many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience difficulties in functional and social communication. Executive functioning (EF) may be the cognitive and regulatory mechanism that underlies these difficulties. Parents rated 92 children with ASD as demonstrating significantly more…

Zhang, Lian; Warren, Zachary; Swanson, Amy; Weitlauf, Amy; Sarkar, Nilanjan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Collaborative virtual environments (CVEs), which allow naturalistic communication between two or more individuals in a shared virtual environment, hold promise as a tool for measuring and promoting social communication between peers. In this work, a CVE platform and a set of CVE-based collaborative games are designed for children with autism…

Manfredi, Mirella; Cohn, Neil; Sanchez Mello, Pamella; Fernandez, Elizabeth; Boggio, Paulo Sergio – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
We examined semantic processing in ASD children by presenting sentences with congruent or incongruent final words and visual narratives with congruent or incongruent final panels. An N400 effect to incongruent words appeared as compared to congruent ones, which was attenuated for the ASD children. We observed a negativity sustained to incongruous…
