Purpose: Studies of infants' early vocalizations have proven helpful in describing the developmental characteristics of various communication disorders. However, few studies have addressed the early vocalizations of infants and toddlers who were later diagnosed, as older children, with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). We refer to these infants…

Hughes, K. R.; Hogan, Abigail L.; Roberts, Jane E.; Klusek, Jessica – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASIBs) and infants with fragile X syndrome (FXS) are both at risk for developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and communication disorders; however, very few studies have examined 1 of the earliest forms of intentional communication in infants from these groups: gestures. This…

Purpose: Differences in communication development impact long-term outcomes of children with autism. Previous research has identified factors associated with communication in children with autism, but much of the variance in communication skill remains unexplained. It has been proposed that early differences in sensory responsiveness (i.e.,…

H.; Pasco, Greg; Pickles, Andrew; Tucker, Leslie; Volein, Agnes – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Cognitive and adaptive behaviour abilities early in life provide important clinical prognostic information. We examined stability of such skills in children at high familial risk for ASD who either met diagnostic criteria for ASD at age 7 years (HR-ASD, n = 15) or did not (HR-non-ASD, n = 24) and low-risk control children (LR, n = 37),…

Roemer, Emily J.; West, Kelsey L.; Northrup, Jessie B.; Iverson, Jana M. – Developmental Science, 2019
Children's gesture production precedes and predicts language development, but the pathways linking these domains are unclear. It is possible that gesture production assists in children's developing word comprehension, which in turn supports expressive vocabulary acquisition. The present study examines this mediation pathway in a population with…

Heymann, Perrine; Northrup, Jessie B.; West, Kelsey L.; Parladé, Meaghan V.; Leezenbaum, Nina B.; Iverson, Jana M. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2018
Background: Research indicates that social communicative behaviours develop atypically during the second year in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study evaluated whether these behaviours also differed in the extent to which they were coordinated across modalities. Aims: To measure joint attention behaviours (e.g., gaze shifts, gestures),…

Rust, Shauna M.; Myers, Allison E.; D'Angelo, Heather; Queen, Tara L.; Laska, Melissa N.; Ribisl, Kurt M. – Health Education & Behavior, 2019
Background: Lower-income families in the United States are at increased risk for food insecurity and have higher rates of tobacco use. Many retailers accepting government food assistance benefits also sell tobacco products, whose marketing promotes smoking initiation and undermines quit attempts. We examined the presence of tobacco marketing in…

Sroufe, L. Alan – ZERO TO THREE, 2021
The Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation, a 45-year study of children born into poverty, offers a number of lessons for practitioners. Among these are the potency of early relationship experiences for predicting developmental outcomes and the fate of early experience following developmental change. This article describes the…

Iverson, Jana M.; Northrup, Jessie B.; Leezenbaum, Nina B.; Parladé, Meaghan V.; Koterba, Erin A.; West, Kelsey L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study examined longitudinal growth in gestures and words in infants at heightened (HR) versus low risk (LR) for ASD. The MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory was administered monthly from 8 to 14 months and at 18 and 24 months to caregivers of 14 HR infants diagnosed with ASD (HR-ASD), 27 HR infants with language delay (HR-LD),…

Lee, Helen Y.; Vigen, Cheryl; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Smith, Isabel M.; Brian, Jessica; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Baranek, Grace T. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examines the construct validity of the First-Year Inventory 2.0 with respect to other established instruments in a sample of high-risk infant siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The First-Year Inventory 2.0 is a parent-report screening instrument designed to identify 12-month-old infants at risk for an eventual diagnosis…

Early intervention has been established as efficacious in addressing developmental delays in young children with autism spectrum disorder. Evidence that caregiver-implemented interventions are feasible and effective for young children with autism spectrum disorder is emerging, yet research suggests there are barriers to enrollment in clinical…

We examined associations between child body mass index at 2-5 years and maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index, gestational weight gain, and rapid weight gain during infancy in children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, or population controls. The Study to Explore Early Development is a multi-site case-control study of children,…

Wagner, Jennifer; Luyster, Rhiannon J.; Moustapha, Hana; Tager-Flusberg, Helen; Nelson, Charles Alexander – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2018
A growing body of literature has begun to explore social attention in infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with hopes of identifying early differences that are associated with later ASD or other aspects of development. The present study used eye-tracking to familiar (mother) and unfamiliar (stranger) faces in two groups…

Gangi, Devon N.; Schwichtenberg, A. J.; Iosif, Ana-Maria; Young, Gregory S.; Baguio, Fam; Ozonoff, Sally – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Infant social-communicative behavior, such as gaze to the face of an interactive partner, is an important early developmental skill. Children with autism spectrum disorder exhibit atypicalities in social-communicative behavior, including gaze and eye contact. Behavioral differences in infancy may serve as early markers of autism spectrum disorder…
