Eilish A. Burke; Rachael Carroll; Maire O'Dwyer; J. Bernard Walsh; Philip McCallion; Mary McCarron – British Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Background: People with intellectual disability often present atypically for various health conditions, making it challenging to identify concerns, particularly when communication challenges are also considered. Additionally, they may face barriers to healthcare access, resulting in many conditions going unnoticed. Health screening inequities are…

Sidni A. Justus; Jenny L. Singleton; Agata Rozga – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Over the past 20+ years, researchers have worked toward identifying early behavioral predictors of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developing observation-based screeners to supplement existing parent-report methods. This study is a follow-up, 3 to 8 years later, with parents/caregivers of 57 children previously enrolled in a U.S.…

Hickey, Emily J.; Feinberg, Emily; Kuhn, Jocelyn; Cabral, Howard J.; Broder-Fingert, Sarabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Over the past 10 years, identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) risk has dramatically increased due to the wide-spread implementation of screening programs; yet, there is limited understanding about parent perceptions and experiences during the time period when risk is identified, but prior to receiving a formal diagnosis--a period that…

Christopher, Kourtney; Bishop, Somer; Carpenter, Laura Arnstein; Warren, Zachary; Kanne, Stephen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Studies have shown that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) screening and diagnostic instruments may be affected by the presence of emotional and behavior problems (EBPs). This study assessed the impact of EBPs on the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-up (M-CHAT-R/F). Participants included 290 children, 18-48 months of age,…

Sheldrick, R. Christopher; Frenette, Elizabeth; Vera, Juan Diego; Mackie, Thomas I.; Martinez-Pedraza, Frances; Hoch, Noah; Eisenhower, Abbey; Fettig, Angel; Carter, Alice S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
U.S. guidelines for detecting autism emphasize screening and also incorporate clinical judgment. However, most research focuses on the former. Among 1,654 children participating in a multi-stage screening protocol for autism, we used mixed methods to evaluate: (1) the effectiveness of a clinical decision rule that encouraged further assessment…

Eisenhower, Abbey; Martinez Pedraza, Frances; Sheldrick, R. Christopher; Frenette, Elizabeth; Hoch, Noah; Brunt, Sophie; Carter, Alice S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Health disparities in ASD detection affect children's access to subsequent interventions. We examined potential disparities in implementation of a multi-stage ASD screening and diagnostic evaluation protocol in Part C Early Intervention with 4943 children ages 14-36 months (mean 22.0 months; 62.9% boys, 73.3% children of color, 34.9%…

Hedley, Darren; Brewer, Neil; Nevill, Rose; Uljarevic, Mirko; Butter, Eric; Mulick, James A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
The study examined the confidence accuracy relationship, and the influence of child characteristics on clinician confidence, when predicting a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder during screening of 125 referred children aged under 3.5 years. The diagnostic process included observation, interview, language and developmental testing. Clinical…

Martinez, M.; Thomas, K. C.; Williams, C. S.; Christian, R.; Crais, E.; Pretzel, R.; Hooper, S. R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This paper examines family experiences with the efficiency of ASD diagnosis. Children were age 8 or younger with ASD (n = 450). Outcomes were delay from first parent concern to diagnosis, shifting diagnoses, and being told child did not have ASD. Predictors were screening, travel distance, and problems finding providers. Logit models were used to…

Whalen, Diana J.; Gilbert, Kirsten E.; Barch, Deanna M.; Luby, Joan L.; Belden, Andy C. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2017
Background: Child and adolescent psychopathology has been linked to increased sleep problems, but there has been less investigation of this relationship in younger samples with early-onset psychopathology. This study examined three specific but commonly observed aspects of sleep behaviors in young children--(i) Sleep onset latency, (ii) Refusal to…

Willinger, Ulrike; Schmoeger, Michaela; Deckert, Matthias; Eisenwort, Brigitte; Loader, Benjamin; Hofmair, Annemarie; Auff, Eduard – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
Specific language impairment (SLI) comprises impairments in receptive and/or expressive language. Aim of this study was to evaluate a screening for SLI. 61 children with SLI (SLI-children, age-range 4-6 years) and 61 matched typically developing controls were tested for receptive language ability (Token Test-TT) and for intelligence (Wechsler…

Kelty-Stephen, Emma; Fein, Deborah A.; Naigles, Letitia R. – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2020
Producing pronouns involves linguistic and social-cognitive knowledge because children must learn words and understand pronouns' changing referents. This study examined pronoun production longitudinally in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 15), whose social-cognition might impair pronoun use, and in typically developing (TD; n…

Aikman, Shelley N.; Doyle-Portillo, Susann; Verhaeghen, Paul; Simmons, Nicole – American Journal of Health Education, 2017
Background: Self-efficacy is an important predictor of performing health behaviors. Purpose: We invoked varying points of view (none, first person, third person) in standard instructions for breast self-exams (BSEs) to examine whether point of view taken would impact self-efficacy for and behavioral intentions regarding BSE. Methods: One hundred…

While various screening instruments for autism spectrum disorders are widely used in diagnostic assessments, their psychometric properties have not been simultaneously evaluated in the outpatient setting where these instruments are used most. In this study, we tested the Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised and two short versions of the…

Van Norman, Ethan R.; Nelson, Peter M.; Klingbeil, David A. – School Psychology Quarterly, 2017
Educators need recommendations to improve screening practices without limiting students' instructional opportunities. Repurposing previous years' state test scores has shown promise in identifying at-risk students within multitiered systems of support. However, researchers have not directly compared the diagnostic accuracy of previous years' state…

Patten, Elena; Belardi, Katie; Baranek, Grace T.; Watson, Linda R.; Labban, Jeffrey D.; Oller, D. Kimbrough – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Canonical babbling is a critical milestone for speech development and is usually well in place by 10 months. The possibility that infants with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show late onset of canonical babbling has so far eluded evaluation. Rate of vocalization or "volubility" has also been suggested as possibly aberrant in infants with…
