Language ability has been associated with emotion regulation (ER) ability. Children on the autism spectrum have greater rates of language delays and lower ER ability. Despite this, autism traits have not been considered or controlled for in past research. This study therefore examined the association between language ability and ER in young…

Shari DeVeney; Priyanka Chaudhary; Brooke Heyne; John Rech; Danae Dinkel – Infants and Young Children, 2025
Early childhood is a critical period characterized by rapid development of motor and language skills. Reliably assessing motor and language development in early childhood is difficult, and there is a lack of agreement on measurement tool use. This scoping review aims to identify measurement tools used to examine motor and language skills in…

Ahmed Abdelaziz; Manuela Wagner; Letitia R. Naigles – Language Learning and Development, 2025
Joint Attention (JA) and Supported Joint Engagement (Supported JE) have each been reported to predict later language development in typically developing (TD) children and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this longitudinal study including 33 TD children (20 months at V1) and 30 children with ASD (33 months at V1), the contributions…

This study examined connections between parental quality of life (QoL) and features of children (autism severity, cognitive ability, behavioral profile, and sociodemographic factors). Parents of 97 children attending an autism-specific preschool completed the Quality of Life in Autism, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and Child Behavior…

Background: Current UK measures of early spoken language comprehension require manipulation of toys and/or verbal responses and are not accessible to children with severe motor impairments. The Computer-Based Instrument for Low motor Language Testing (C-BiLLT) (originally validated in Dutch) is a computerized test of spoken language comprehension…

Kirby; Bahar Keceli-Kaysili; Tiffany G. Woynaroski – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Early differences in sensory responsiveness may contribute to difficulties with communication among autistic children; however, this theory has not been longitudinally assessed in infants at increased familial versus general population-level likelihood for autism (Sibs-autism vs. Sibs-NA) using a comprehensive battery of sensory responsiveness and…

Prior eye-tracking studies involving autistic individuals have focused on total looking time or proportion of looking time to key regions of interest. These studies have not examined another important feature, the ability to sustain attention to stimuli. In particular, the ability to sustain attention to a dynamic social stimulus might reflect…

This study explores the cognitive development of children born to adolescent mothers within South Africa compared to existing reference data, and explores development by child age bands to examine relative levels of development. Cross-sectional analyses present data from 954 adolescents (10-19 years) and their first-born children (0-68 months).…

Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorder share key elements. However, the extent of similarity and overlap in techniques among naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention models has not been quantified, and there is no standardized measure for assessing the implementation of their…

Bordoff-Gerken, Samantha; Asaro-Saddler, Kristie – Journal of Special Education Apprenticeship, 2021
Reviews of the literature have confirmed that Social Stories™ can be an effective intervention for individuals with ASD. Recently, researchers have begun to investigate the presentation of Social Stories™ using technology, with results suggesting that Social Stories™ presented through technology are a promising avenue for practice and research. In…

The autism spectrum disorder phenotype varies by social and communication ability and co-occurring developmental, behavioral, and medical conditions. Etiology is also diverse, with myriad potential genetic origins and environmental risk factors. Examining the influence of parental broader autism phenotype--a set of sub-clinical characteristics of…

Quinn, Emily D.; Kaiser, Ann P.; Ledford, Jennifer – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study investigated the effects of enhanced milieu teaching (EMT) on caregiver implementation of language support strategies and child communication skills using a hybrid telepractice service delivery model. Method: Four caregivers and children with language delays aged 18-27 months participated in a multiple baseline across behaviors…

Background: The Taiwan version of the Screening Tool for Autism in Two-Year-Olds (T-STAT) had been developed for identifying autism disorder (AD) in children aged 24-35 months. Two studies were performed to elucidate its utility for AD in children aged 36-48 months. Method: In Study 1, the receiver operating characteristics were utilised to select…
