Patricio Erhard; Terry S. Falcomata; Molly Oshinski; Austin Sekula – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have persistent difficulty developing and generalizing social communication and interaction skills. Emerging research has demonstrated that people with ASD have benefited from strategies that embed multiple-exemplar training (MET) to increase generalization of social skills.…

Olmstead, Annie J.; Lee, Jimin; Chen, Janice – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study examines the efficacy of perceptual training for improving typical listeners' identification of vowels produced by individuals with dysarthria. We examined whether training on a subset of vowels can generalize to (a) untrained vowels and (b) other speakers with similar overall intelligibility. Method: Sixty naive listeners…

Kaitlyn P. Wilson – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2024
Autistic individuals have significant social-communication challenges that commonly persist into adulthood and impact academic, social, and vocational pursuits. More than two decades of research have established video behavior modeling as a successful, cost-effective, and time-efficient intervention tool for autistic children; however, less…
