Few studies have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of social stories. Studies conducted to date have combined social stories with other intervention tactics, such as behavioral supports, picture prompts, and video modeling....
Racial and ethnic diversity is growing rapidly in the United States (US), leading to heightened concerns about racial/ethnic disparities in the provision of services for young toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This...
Repetitive and stereotyped behaviors (RSB) are an early diagnostic feature of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, few studies have systematically examined the context and functions of RSB in young children with ASD. This study...
Introduction: Although there is a general convergence of research which indicates that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have deficits in play behavior, substantial gaps remain in our knowledge of play in children with ASD....
Research has demonstrated that parents' use of synchronous language, which is language that follows their children's focus of attention, is related to language development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; Haebig, McDuffie, ...
The decline of outdoor play in children's lives continues to demand investigation with an explicit goal to reveal and understand the child voice. This study aimed to explore children's engagement in outdoor activity as influenced by the...
Impairments in social communication are among the earliest indicators of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, due to the age of usual diagnosis, relatively little is known about the communicative profiles of children with ASD...
Research in disability and music is a recent movement within musicology that is comprised of scholars who have an interest in the various ways disabilities and bodily/ability differences intersect with music. These music scholars differ...
Observation of Social Communication Red Flags in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Delay, and Typical Development Using Two Observation Methods
A discrepancy exists between the age at which children are currently identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the community and the age at which they can be reliably identified in research. Observational measures are needed to...
Few studies have examined how instructor variables relate to student performance measures for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this study was to examine instructor language and student active engagement in...
There is a growing trend toward the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in addressing the communicative deficits of preschool children. Of particular interest is the use of pictures to teach children to request...
Impairment in communication is a primary diagnostic feature of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), however relatively little is known about the early communication development of children with ASD. Vocalizations, which typically begin to...
Joint engagement is the child's ability to share an experience involving an object with social partners. This skill is critical to the social and communication development of young children. Previous semi-structured investigations in...
This study investigated the visual attention characteristics in 125 children between 18 and 24 months of age: 50 with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), 25 with developmental delays (DD), and 50 with typical development (TD). Systematic...
A deficit in communication is not only one of the earliest and most frequently reported concerns by parents of young children later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but is also among the most frequent reasons for the...
This study examined the relations among expressive phonology, phonological sensitivity, and early decoding skills in children attending kindergarten through 2nd grade. Extant literature suggests that children with disordered speech may...
Several social skills assessment studies have found children with impaired language to also have a deficit in their social skills. These studies have focused on either young children (e.g., preschool) or older children (e.g., elementary...
There is great interest in determining the effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation (TES) on voice. A possible factor that influences electrical stimulation transfer to the extrinsic and intrinsic laryngeal muscles is...
The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of three in-service training methods on the quality of IEP objectives developed by speech-language pathologists. Forty-nine school-based speech-language pathologists were randomly...
Early detection of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is crucial to optimizing child and family outcomes. Most research on the early diagnostic features of ASD has been done in the clinic environment; therefore there is a need for research...
Vocabulary is considered one of the critical language skills necessary for children to develop at a young age, as it has been shown to be highly correlated with future academic success in school. Children from low-income environments...
