Corona, Laura L.; Weitlauf, Amy S.; Hine, Jeffrey; Berman, Anna; Miceli, Alexandra; Nicholson, Amy; Stone, Caitlin; Broderick, Neill; Francis, Sara; Juárez, A. Pablo; Vehorn, Alison; Wagner, Liliana; Warren, Zachary – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Telemedicine tools have potential for increasing access to diagnostic services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Past work has utilized tele-assessment procedures in which remote psychologists observe administration of interactive screening instruments by trained, on-site providers. Although promising, this approach relies on two…

The capacity of the Child Behavior Checklist 1½-5 (CBCL 1½-5) to identify children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at 18 months was tested on 37 children clinically referred for ASD and 46 children at elevated likelihood of developing ASD due to having an affected brother/sister. At 30 months the clinically referred children all received a…

Mishra, Avinash; Ceballos, Victoria; Himmelwright, Kelsey; McCabe, Shannon; Scott, Lindsay – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) demonstrate delayed and atypical communication development. These deficits constitute a core criterion for the diagnosis of ASD, though information regarding gestural communication in toddlers with ASD remains limited. The present investigation implemented a robust gesture classification system in order…

Sánchez-García, Ana B.; Galindo-Villardón, Purificación; Nieto-Librero, Ana B.; Martín-Rodero, Helena; Robins, Diana L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Great efforts focus on early detection of autism spectrum disorder, although some scientists and policy-makers have questioned early universal screening. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the different screening tools. Several electronic databases were used to identify published studies. A Bayesian model was…

Lee, Kwangwon; Schertz, Hannah H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The relationship between turn taking (i.e., back-and-forth preverbal communicative exchanges) and joint attention has not been studied in interactions between children with autism and caregivers. In joint attention, a form of preverbal social communication, young children socially share attention with a partner about objects, a competency that is…

Peters, W. Jason; Matson, Johnny L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
With the publication of DSM-5, many changes were introduced regarding how Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) would be diagnosed. Changes from DSM-IV-TR were controversial, with many arguing that individuals would lose their diagnosis with the new criteria. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in the application of diagnostic criteria…

Qian, Lu; Shao, Huan; Fang, Hui; Xiao, Ting; Ding, Ning; Sun, Bei; Gao, HuiYun; Tang, Min; Ye, Mei; Ke, XiaoYan; O'Neill, Daniela K. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Pragmatics has generally been defined as the ability to use language in social situations, it is commonly regarded as the third major component of language ability. To date, there is no tool for assessing early pragmatic development of Chinese-speaking children. Aims: To describe the translation of the Language Use Inventory (LUI) from…

Coleman, Heather; Hume, Kara; Fanning, Leslie; Scott, Samantha – Journal of Early Intervention, 2022
Many autism-focused early intervention (EI) models have not yet been adopted by community-based providers in rural settings due to fit and feasibility when working within the Part C model. Family Implemented TEACCH for Toddlers (FITT, based on the University of North Carolina TEACCH Autism Program) is a research-based, Part-C compatible, EI model…

Dick, Catherine C.; Ibañez, Lisa V.; DesChamps, Trent D.; Attar, Shana M.; Stone, Wendy L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Family-centered care represents a collaborative partnership between caregivers and service providers, and is associated with positive caregiver and child outcomes. This approach may be especially important for caregivers with early concerns about autism, as service providers are often the gateway to appropriately-specialized intervention.…

Kwangwon Lee; Hannah H. Schertz – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Nonverbal turn taking, defined as back-and-forth exchanges, may be used to convey instrumental or social intent. It has been theorized that social turn taking is foundational to joint attention and, as such, it has been incorporated as a component of early interventions for children with autism, who often have challenges in joint attention…

Wu, Chin-Chin; Chiang, Chung-Hsin; Chu, Ching-Lin; Iao, Lai-Sang; Hou, Yuh-Ming – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Two studies were conducted to examine the use of the Taiwanese version of the Screening Tool for Autism in Two-Year-Olds for detecting autism spectrum disorder in toddlers aged 18-24 months. Study 1 used receiver operating characteristics to select a cutoff score for the Taiwanese version of the Screening Tool for Autism in Two-Year-Olds. It…

Haebig, Eileen; Jiménez, Eva; Cox, Christopher R.; Hills, Thomas T. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Children with autism spectrum disorder often have significant language delays. But do they learn language differently than neurotypical toddlers? We compared the lexical skills of 64 preverbal and minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder to 461 vocabulary-size-matched typically developing toddlers. We also examined social features…

The objectives were to characterize behavioral signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in younger siblings of diagnosed children (high-risk; HR) and examine classification features of the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI). Participants (501 HR and 180 low-risk [LR]) were assessed between 6 and 18 months using the AOSI and at age 3 for…

Pomper, Ron; Ellis Weismer, Susan; Saffran, Jenny; Edwards, Jan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
This study investigated whether children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are sensitive to mispronunciations of familiar words and compared their sensitivity to children with typical-development. Sixty-four toddlers with ASD and 31 younger, typical controls participated in a looking-while-listening task that measured their accuracy in fixating…

Rieth, Sarah R.; Dickson, Kelsey S.; Ko, Jordan; Haine-Schlagel, Rachel; Gaines, Kim; Brookman-Frazee, Lauren; Stahmer, Aubyn C. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Best-practice recommendations for young children at high likelihood of autism include active involvement of caregivers in intervention. However, the use of evidence-based parent-mediated interventions in community practice remains limited. Preliminary evidence suggests that Project ImPACT for Toddlers demonstrates positive parent and child…
