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…

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…

Su, Pumpki L.; Rogers, Sally J.; Estes, Annette; Yoder, Paul – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examined an insufficiently studied predictor of functional language, social motivation, in a group of 87 young children with autism spectrum disorder. Participants (age 14-31 months at the start of the study) were assessed at four times over 24 months. We tested total and indirect associations between early social motivation and later…

Crandall, Madison Cloud; Bottema-Beutel, Kristen; McDaniel, Jena; Watson, Linda R.; Yoder, Paul J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
The relation between caregiver follow-in utterances with verbs presented in different states of dyadic engagement and later child expressive verb vocabulary in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was examined in 29 toddlers with ASD and their caregivers. Caregiver verb input in follow-in utterances presented during higher order supported…

Pecukonis, Meredith; Plesa Skwerer, Daniela; Eggleston, Brady; Meyer, Steven; Tager-Flusberg, Helen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Numerous studies have investigated the predictors of language in pre-verbal toddlers and verbally fluent children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The present study investigated the concurrent relations among expressive language and a set of empirically-selected social communication variables--joint attention, imitation, and play--in a unique…

One of the earliest indicators of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is delay in language and social communication. Despite consensus on the benefits of earlier diagnosis and intervention, our understanding of the language growth of children with ASD during the first years of life remains limited. Therefore, this study compared communication growth…

Greenslade, Kathryn J.; Utter, Elizabeth A.; Landa, Rebecca J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Little empirical evidence exists about school-age pragmatic communication or predictors in siblings at heightened familial risk for ASD (HR) and low-risk (LR) controls. The "Pragmatic Rating Scale-School-Age" (Landa unpublished) was scored for 49 HR siblings and 18 LR controls at 8-12 years. Social-communication and language measures…

Purpose: Differences in communication development impact long-term outcomes of children with autism. Previous research has identified factors associated with communication in children with autism, but much of the variance in communication skill remains unexplained. It has been proposed that early differences in sensory responsiveness (i.e.,…

Panganiban, Jonathan Luke – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Much research in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has focused on the development of efficacious interventions to address the core deficits of ASD. However, the heterogeneous nature of ASD complicates the development of such interventions. With great heterogeneity in the expression of ASD's core deficits, it is unlikely that there is a one size fits…

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…

Barokova, Mihaela D.; Hassan, Sommer; Lee, Collin; Xu, Mengyuan; Tager-Flusberg, Helen – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: We aimed to compare the speech of parents and examiners as they elicited language samples from minimally and low-verbal (MLV) children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), while following the same semi-structured elicitation protocol, Eliciting Language Samples for Analysis-Adolescents (ELSA-A). We also compared the speech…

Yoder, Paul J.; Stone, Wendy L.; Edmunds, Sarah R. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
In this second of two primary papers, we examined moderators of treatment effects for younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders whose parents were taught to use a parent-implemented intervention called "Improving Parents As Communication Teachers". Investigators randomized 97 high-risk siblings and their primary parent…

Coogle, Christan Grygas; Storie, Sloan; Ottley, Jennifer R.; Rahn, Naomi L.; Kurowski-Burt, Amy – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2021
We investigated the effect of real-time technology-enhanced performance-based feedback delivered during three different routines on teacher practice and child outcomes. Participants were three early childhood special education teachers and three focus preschool children identified with autism spectrum disorder. We used a multiple-probe single-case…

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…
