Keeping a conversation going is the social glue of friendships. The DSM criteria for autism list difficulties with back-and-forth conversation but does not necessitate that all autistic children will be equally impacted. We carried out three studies (two pre-registered) with verbally fluent school children (age 5-9 years) to investigate how…

Madison Formanek; Tammie J. Spaulding – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2024
Purpose: The present study was designed to investigate persistence in preschool children with developmental language disorder (DLD) compared to similar-age peers with typical language (TL) on tasks designed to be moderately challenging, yet equivalent in difficulty for both groups. Method: Sixteen preschool-age children with DLD were matched to 16…

Chenausky, Karen V.; Verdes, Alison; Shield, Aaron – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2022
Purpose: Manual sign is a common alternative mode of communication taught to children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Gesture use is positively related to later increases in vocabulary and syntactic complexity in typical development, but there is little evidence supporting the use of manual sign for children with CAS. We sought to identify…

Lee; Aili Hauptmann; Kimberly Tena; Christopher Chatham; Judith S. Miller; Juhi Pandey; Alison S. Russell; Robert T. Schultz; Julia Parish-Morris – Cognitive Science, 2025
Engaging in fluent conversation is a surprisingly complex task that requires interlocutors to promptly respond to each other in a way that is appropriate to the social context. In this study, we disentangled different dimensions of turn-taking by investigating how the dynamics of child-adult interactions changed according to the activity…

Kishida, Yuriko; Kemp, Coral – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
An AB single case design was used to measure the effect of data-based feedback for 6 children in a listening and spoken language early intervention (EI) programme in Australia. Changes in the number of parent-child conversational turns following feedback were measured using an automated language environment analysis system. The perceived value and…

Romano, Daniel R.; Kronenberger, William G.; Henning, Shirley C.; Montgomery, Caitlin J.; Ditmars, Allison M.; Johnson, Courtney A.; Bozell, Hannah D.; Yates, Adeline D.; Pisoni, David B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Verbal working memory (VWM) delays are commonly found in prelingually deaf youth with cochlear implants (CIs), albeit with considerable interindividual variability. However, little is known about the neurocognitive information-processing mechanisms underlying these delays and how these mechanisms relate to spoken language outcomes. The…

Eigsti, Inge-Marie; Irvine, Christina A. – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2021
This study tests the role of verbal mediation during theory of mind processing in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Adolescents with ASD or typical development completed a false belief task while simultaneously performing a verbal or nonverbal load task. There was no group difference in false belief "accuracy;" however, under verbal load,…

Joseph H. R. Maes; Annette R. Scheper; Daan Hermans; Constance T. W. M. Vissers – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: The implicit learning deficit hypothesis claims that impaired implicit learning underlies deficits in social-communicative abilities associated with developmental language disorder (DLD). However, previous research testing this hypothesis revealed inconsistent results and largely used process-impure sequential learning tasks. Aims:…

Poll, Gerard H.; Petru, Janis – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2023
Metacognitive ability supports both self-regulated academic learning and effective social communication. It is critical to adolescents' ability to successfully transition from secondary education to adult contexts, underscoring the need to understand age-related changes beyond childhood. There have been conflicting findings on whether…

Social Communication and Structural Language of Girls with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder
Burton, Jenny M.; Creaghead, Nancy A.; Silbert, Noah; Breit-Smith, Allison; Duncan, Amie W.; Grether, Sandra M. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to characterize social communication and structural language of school-age girls with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HF-ASD) compared to a matched group of girls who are typically developing (TD). Method: Participants were 37 girls between 7;5 and 15;2 (years;months)--18 HF-ASD and 19 TD. Children…

Mood, Deborah; Sheldon, Rose; Tabangin, Meredith; Wiley, Susan; Meinzen-Derr, Jareen – Deafness & Education International, 2022
Children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) often demonstrate pragmatic language difficulties which can impact academic and social outcomes. This randomized control trial for DHH children, ages 3-12 years, explored the Technology-Assisted Language Intervention (TALI), incorporating augmentative and alternative communication technology (AAC)…

Chenausky, Karen V.; Gagné, Danielle; Stipancic, Kaila L.; Shield, Aaron; Green, Jordan R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between perceived single-word speech severity and intelligibility in children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), with and without comorbid language impairment (LI), and to investigate the contribution of different CAS signs to perceived single-word speech severity and…

Eichorn, Naomi; Pirutinsky, Steven – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Contemporary motor theories indicate that well-practiced movements are best performed automatically, without conscious attention or monitoring. We applied this perspective to speech production in school-age children and examined how dual-task conditions that engaged sustained attention affected speech fluency, speech rate, and language…

Poll, Gerard H.; Maskalunas, Caitlyn; Walls, Lauren; Durbin, Samantha; Hunken, Haley; Petru, Janis – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: An important role of social communication assessment is to support intervention planning as adolescents with disabilities transition to workplaces and other adult settings. Adoption of evidence-based assessment practices would align professionals with legal and ethical mandates for schools and other settings. There is, however, limited…

Holt, Rachael Frush; Kronenberger, William G.; Pisoni, David B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether families of children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) are organized similarly to those of typically developing, typically hearing (TH) children and whether the dimensions of family dynamics and environment are related to spoken language development similarly in children with and without…
