Meagan R. Talbott; Gregory S. Young; Sally Ozonoff – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Identifying infants at elevated likelihood for autism and other developmental differences in the first year of life remains a significant challenge. This study explored associations between behavioral differences in infancy and developmental outcomes in toddlerhood. We conducted a secondary data analysis of 256 infants with an older autistic…

Christina Burroughs; Rachael A. Muscatello; Blythe A. Corbett – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Recent research suggests there may be differences in the social presentations of autistic males and females. Camouflaging is believed to account for some of these differences and executive function (EF) may support compensatory social behaviors. As few studies have explored the role of sex and everyday EF when evaluating specific social…

Nahmias, Allison S.; Crabbe, Samantha; Marcus, Steven C.; Mandell, David S. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2023
This study examined factors associated with 9-month outcomes of 78 preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder ([ASD]; 66 males, mean age = 44.8 [7.0] months) receiving preschool special education services. Use of recommended intervention practices was observed in each student's primary educational setting: autism-only (n = 28), mixed-disability (n…

Huang, Ying; Cheng, Chun-Ho; Law, Wing-Wun; Wong, Tiffany; Leung, Oi-Ki; So, Wing-Chee – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Children with autism are found to have delayed and heterogeneous gesture abilities. It is important to understand the growth of gesture abilities and the underlying factors affecting its growth. Addressing these issues can help to design effective intervention programs. Method: Thirty-five Chinese-speaking preschoolers with autism…

D. S. Messinger; L. K. Perry; S. G. Mitsven; Y. Tao; J. Moffitt; R. M. Fasano; S. A. Custode; C. M. Jerry – Grantee Submission, 2022
Audio-visual recording and location tracking produce enormous quantities of digital data with which researchers can document children's everyday interactions in naturalistic settings and assessment contexts. Machine learning and other computational approaches can produce replicable, automated measurements of these big behavioral data. The…

Lee, Vivian; Duku, Eric; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Bennett, Teresa; Szatmari, Peter; Elsabbagh, Mayada; Kerns, Connor; Mirenda, Pat; Smith, Isabel M.; Ungar, Wendy J.; Vaillancourt, Tracy; Volden, Joanne; Waddell, Charlotte; Zaidman-Zait, Anat; Thompson, Ann; Georgiades, Stelios – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Temperament is a construct that is relatively stable over time but varies between individuals. Research suggests that children with autism spectrum disorder have a 'reactive' temperament profile when compared to peers with or without disabilities. However, our understanding of how temperament varies within children with autism and how it relates…

Jan Blacher; Abbey Eisenhower – Grantee Submission, 2022
Viewed through a social justice lens, preschool expulsion is an educational equity issue. This study focused on prior expulsion from preschool and child-care in a longitudinal study of 203 autistic children, ages 4 to 7. By parent report, 16%--one out of six autistic children--had been expelled from a preschool or child-care setting prior to…

Mössler, Karin; Schmid, Wolfgang; Aßmus, Jörg; Fusar-Poli, Laura; Gold, Christian – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
This study examined whether musical and emotional attunement predicts changes in improvisational music therapy with children with autism (4-7 years, N = 101, majority: no/limited speech, low IQ), assessed over 12 months. Attunement, as observed from session videos, and changes in generalized social skills, judged by blinded assessors and parents,…

Dimachkie Nunnally, Amanda; Sterrett, Kyle; Gulsrud, Amanda; Kasari, Connie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder exhibit challenges in regulating negativity and modifying emotional responses, a process known as emotion regulation. Such challenges affect social outcomes and response to intervention in children with autism spectrum disorder. Caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder facilitate children's…

Day, Talena C.; McNaughton, Kathryn A.; Naples, Adam J.; McPartland, James C. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
In adults with autism spectrum disorder, co-occurring psychiatric conditions are prevalent, and depression is one of the most common co-occurring disorders. This study examined the relationship between depression and cognitive ability, autism symptom severity, and self-reported social impairments in autism spectrum disorder. A total of 33 adults…

Pennington, Robert C.; Foreman, Lindsay Hugg; Gurney, Beth Newberry – Remedial and Special Education, 2018
In the current study, we investigated the effects of an instructional package (i.e., response prompting, sentence frames) on sentence writing for three middle school participants (ages 12-13) with moderate to severe disabilities. We employed a multiple probe across behaviors design to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention package and also used…

Tomaszewski, Brianne; Hepburn, Susan; Blakeley-Smith, Audrey; Rogers, Sally J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Longitudinal growth modeling was utilized to examine adaptive behavior over eight years across the three time points (i.e., ages 2-10). Seventy-six parents completed the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales interviews of adaptive behavior. Child participants completed standardized developmental testing and an executive function task in toddlerhood…

Ben-Itzchak, Esther; Zachor, Ditza A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
This prospective study examined the developmental changes over time of adolescents diagnosed in toddlerhood with autism spectrum disorder and searched for child characteristics at toddlerhood that predict outcome at adolescence. The study included 65 participants who were divided into low cognitive (developmental quotient [less than] 85; N = 41)…

Green, Cherie C.; Smith, Jodie; Bent, Catherine A.; Chetcuti, Lacey; Sulek, Rhylee; Uljarevic, Mirko; Hudry, Kristelle – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Extensive research has shown elevated mental health difficulties among parents of children with autism compared to other parents. Although several studies have explored factors related to mental health among parents of children with autism, the factors that influence and promote well-being remain poorly characterised. Parents of young, newly…
