Seidl, Amanda; Cristia, Alejandrina; Soderstrom, Melanie; Ko, Eon-Suk; Abel, Emily A.; Kellerman, Ashleigh; Schwichtenberg, A. J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: One promising early marker for autism and other communicative and language disorders is early infant speech production. Here we used daylong recordings of high- and low-risk infant-mother dyads to examine whether acoustic-prosodic alignment as well as two automated measures of infant vocalization are related to developmental risk status…

Ip, Martin Ho Kwan; Imuta, Kana; Slaughter, Virginia – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Correct counting respects the stable order principle whereby the count terms are recited in a fixed order every time.

Clark, Ciara; Maher, Lauren; Rudy, Mariko; Pitoniak, Jennifer; Watling, Renee; Tanta, Kari – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2018
NICU follow-up (NFU) programs often experience low service utilization rates. Attendance to follow-up appointments is vital for both the health outcomes of the infants and to ensure continued funding for these programs. Occupational therapists should be aware of factors that put individual consumers at higher risk for nonattendance and take steps…

Weber, Ann M.; Marchman, Virginia A.; Diop, Yatma; Fernald, Anne – Journal of Child Language, 2018
Valid indigenous language assessments are needed to further our understanding of how children learn language around the world. We assessed the psychometric properties and performance of two caregiver-report measures of Wolof language skill (language milestones achieved and vocabulary knowledge) for 500 children (ages 0;4 to 2;6) living in rural…

Chad; Hazlett, Heather C.; Emerson, Robert W.; Botteron, Kelly; Pandey, Juhi; Schultz, Robert T.; Dager, Stephen R.; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Estes, Annette M.; Piven, Joseph – Child Development, 2018
Children's early language environments are related to later development. Little is known about this association in siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who often experience language delays or have ASD. Fifty-nine 9-month-old infants at high or low familial risk for ASD contributed full-day in-home language recordings.…

Kucirkova, Natalia; Littleton, Karen; Kyparissiadis, Antonios – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2018
This study is the first to systematically investigate the influence of child gender and age, on parents' perceptions of UK children's digital media use at home. It provides an in-depth exploration of how children's age and gender influence the balance between children's use of digital and non-digital media at home. The data draw on 709 parents'…

De Clerck, Ilke; Pettinato, Michèle; Gillis, San; Verhoeven, Jo; Gillis, Steven – First Language, 2018
This study investigates prosodic modulation in the spontaneous canonical babble of congenitally deaf infants with cochlear implants (CI) and normally hearing (NH) infants. Research has shown that the acoustic cues to prominence are less modulated in CI babble. However acoustic measurements of individual cues to prominence give incomplete…

Arango, P. S.; Aparicio, A.; Tenorio, M. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Several studies show that socio-economic status (SES) is related to the developmental trajectories of children with typical development (TD). However, few studies have analysed this relationship regarding children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as Down syndrome (DS). In this paper, we analyse the impact of SES in the…

Towers, Katherine – Educational Psychology in Practice, 2018
Recent medical advancements have resulted in improved survival rates for "preterm" children, born before 37 weeks gestation. However, this population remains vulnerable to adverse physiological, neurological and emotional outcomes. Research suggests that the professionals involved with them as they enter and progress through school, such…

Becerra-Culqui, Tracy A.; Lynch, Frances L.; Owen-Smith, Ashli A.; Spitzer, Joseph; Croen, Lisa A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Specific developmental concerns can distinguish between an early versus later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Caregiver survey responses of children = 9 years-of-age (2012) with ASD were used to evaluate developmental concerns and associations with age of diagnosis [early (< 3 years: n = 106) vs. later (= 3 years: n = 432)] using…

Brewe, A. M.; Reisinger, D. L.; Adlof, S. M.; Roberts, J. E. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2018
Background: Impairment in initiating joint attention (IJA) is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children, although it is unclear when impairments arise. Due to the early development of IJA use and late diagnosis of ASD, groups at high-risk of ASD, such as infants with an older sibling with ASD (ASIBs) and infants with fragile X…

Schertz, Hannah H.; Call-Cummings, Meagan; Horn, Kathryn; Quest, Kelsey; Law, Rhiannon Steffen – Grantee Submission, 2018
A qualitative study of three parents and their toddlers with autism was conducted to investigate the communicative functions underlying parent-toddler interactions and how the instrumental or social nature of one partner's actions influenced the other's engagement. Parent-child interaction videos collected from a separate intervention study were…
