Kai Ian Leung; Monika Molnar – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: As highlighted by research on typically developing children, various biases exist when evaluating bilingual children's abilities. These biases can lead to inequitable assessment of language and cognitive abilities--potentially over- or underestimating bilinguals' skills. Recent reviews on neurodivergent bilingual children alluded to…

Wu; Mustafa Sahin – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2025
Developmental domains, such as cognitive, language, and motor, are key concepts of interest in longitudinal studies of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Normative scores (e.g., IQ) are often used to operationalize performance on standardized tests of these concepts, but it is the interval-distributed person-ability scores that are…

Background & aims: Although the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) has been demonstrated to be an effective intervention to teach people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder a functional communication system, the research indicates variability in PECS outcomes across people and studies. Therefore, the purpose of the current study…

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), also known as Dyspraxia, is an often overlooked or misdiagnosed disorder and little research exists on how it manifests among cognitively gifted children. The purpose of this study was to examine clinical profiles among 25 children diagnosed with DCD and identified as cognitively gifted to explore the…

Background: Limited data exist on problematic sexual behaviour (PSB) in youth with developmental disabilities in South Korea. Method: Sixty-one parents of children with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder (aged 13-30) reported children's PSB and emotional, behavioural, cognitive, and interpersonal factors. The frequency of PSB in…

Justin B. Kueser; Arielle Borovsky; Patricia Deevy; Mine Muezzinoglu; Claney Outzen; Laurence B. Leonard – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) tend to interpret noncanonical sentences like passives using event probability (EP) information regardless of structure (e.g., by interpreting "The dog was chased by the squirrel" as "The dog chased the squirrel"). Verbs are a major source of EP information in adults…

Bruinsma, Gerda; Wijnen, Frank; Gerrits, Ellen – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Early and effective treatment for children with developmental language disorder (DLD) is important. Although a growing body of research shows the effects of interventions at the group level, clinicians observe large individual differences in language growth, and differences in outcomes across language domains. A systematic…

Maltman, Nell; DaWalt, Leeann Smith; Hong, Jinkuk; Baker, Mei Wang; Berry-Kravis, Elizabeth M.; Brilliant, Murray H.; Mailick, Marsha – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Variation in the "FMR1" gene may affect aspects of cognition, such as executive function and memory. Environmental factors, such as stress, may also negatively impact cognitive functioning. Participants included 1,053 mothers of children with and without developmental disabilities. Participants completed self-report measures of executive…

Avlund, Sara Højslev; Thomsen, Per Hove; Schendel, Diana; Jørgensen, Meta; Carlsen, Anders Helles; Clausen, Loa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This study aimed to investigate factors associated with a delayed autism spectrum (ASD) diagnosis when compared to children with either no or early ASD diagnosis. Among 893 children assessed for ASD before age 8, 39% had no ASD at baseline, of which 21% received a later ASD diagnosis. Autism symptoms, diagnostic history of other developmental…

Background: A visual-verbal integration model (VVIM) was used to train parents and their children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to dispense a pea-sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste, aiming to balance the occurrence of dental caries and fluorosis. Method: Participants were 370 pairs of IDD preschool children and their…

Purpose: Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) are at increased risk for reading difficulties. While oral language interventions benefit emergent literacy, studies specifically targeting preliteracy abilities in preschoolers with DLD are limited. This study examined the effects of a Multitiered System of Language Support (MTSLS) on…
