Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Chen, Yun-Ju; Sideris, John; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Baranek, Grace T. – Child Development, 2022
This prospective study examined the latent growth trajectories of sensory patterns among a North Carolina birth cohort (N = 1517; 49% boys, 87% White) across infancy (6-19 months), preschool (3-4 years), and school years (6-7 years). Change rates of sensory hyper- and hyporesponsiveness better differentiated children with an autism diagnosis or…

Grzadzinski, Rebecca; Donovan, Kevin; Truong, Kinh; Nowell, Sallie; Lee, Helen; Sideris, John; Turner-Brown, Lauren; Baranek, Grace T.; Watson, Linda R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often display atypical sensory reactivity within the first years of life, prior to a diagnosis. This study examined sensory reactivity patterns at 14 months, changes from 14 to 23 months, and later ASD severity at 3 to 5 years of age in children (n = 87) at elevated likelihood of ASD. Results indicated…

Lee, Helen Y.; Vigen, Cheryl; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Bryson, Susan; Smith, Isabel; Brian, Jessica; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Turner-Brown, Lauren; Reznick, J. Steven; Baranek, Grace T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
This study examined the performance of the First Year Inventory (FYI; version 2.0), a community-normed parent-reported screening instrument, in a high-risk (HR) sample of 12-month-olds with older siblings diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The FYI 2.0 was completed by parents of 86 HR infants and 35 low-risk control infants at age…

Sensory and Repetitive Behaviors among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder at Home
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Kirby, Anne V.; Boyd, Brian A.; Williams, Kathryn L.; Faldowski, Richard A.; Baranek, Grace T. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
Atypical sensory and repetitive behaviors are defining features of autism spectrum disorder and are thought to be influenced by environmental factors; however, there is a lack of naturalistic research exploring contexts surrounding these behaviors. This study involved video recording observations of 32 children with autism spectrum disorder (2-12…

Eye Tracking Reveals Impaired Attentional Disengagement Associated with Sensory Response Patterns in Children with Autism
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Sabatos-DeVito, Maura; Schipul, Sarah E.; Bulluck, John C.; Belger, Aysenil; Baranek, Grace T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This study used a gap-overlap paradigm to examine the impact of distractor salience and temporal overlap on the ability to disengage and orient attention in 50 children (4-13 years) with ASD, DD and TD, and associations between attention and sensory response patterns. Results revealed impaired disengagement and orienting accuracy in ASD.…

Baranek, Grace T.; Woynaroski, Tiffany G.; Nowell, Sallie; Brown, Lauren Turner; DuBay, Michaela; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Watson, Linda R. – Grantee Submission, 2017
Recent work suggests sensory seeking predicts later social symptomatology through reduced social orienting in infants who are at high-risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on their status as younger siblings of children diagnosed with ASD. We drew on extant longitudinal data from a community sample of at-risk infants who were identified at…
