This study investigates the role of recursive language and working memory (WM) in second-order false belief skills in Danish-speaking children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 62; 8 females) and typical development (n = 41; 15 females), ages 6-16. Second-order false belief skills correlated with receptive grammar, vocabulary, and age;…

Carter, Cheriece K.; Hartley, Calum – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
For the first time, this study investigated whether children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) children matched on language comprehension (M age equivalent = ~ 44 months) are more likely to retain words when learning from colour photographs than black-and-white cartoons. Participants used mutual exclusivity to fast…

Although water-based approaches have been shown to be beneficial for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), no study thus far has directly investigated the effects of such intervention programs on language skills. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the Aquatic Speech and Language Therapy (ASLT) program, which is a new,…

Broome, Kate; McCabe, Patricia; Docking, Kimberley; Doble, Maree; Carrigg, Bronwyn – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study aimed to provide detailed descriptive information about the speech of a heterogeneous cohort of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and to explore whether subgroups exist based on this detailed speech data. High rates of delayed and disordered speech in both low-verbal and high-functioning children with ASD have been…

Su, Pumpki L.; Rogers, Sally J.; Estes, Annette; Yoder, Paul – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examined an insufficiently studied predictor of functional language, social motivation, in a group of 87 young children with autism spectrum disorder. Participants (age 14-31 months at the start of the study) were assessed at four times over 24 months. We tested total and indirect associations between early social motivation and later…

Venker, Courtney E.; Edwards, Jan; Saffran, Jenny R.; Ellis Weismer, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
In typical development, listeners can use semantic content of verbs to facilitate incremental language processing--a skill that is associated with existing language skills. Studies of children with ASD have not identified an association between incremental language processing in semantically-constraining contexts and language skills, perhaps…

We investigated the early sociocognitive battery (ESB), a novel measure of preverbal social communication skills, in children with autism participating in the Paediatric Autism Communication Trial-Generalised (PACT-G). The associations between ESB scores, language and autism symptoms were assessed in 249 children aged 2-11 years. The results show…

Weismer, Susan Ellis; Kaushanskaya, Margarita; Larson, Caroline; Mathée, Janine; Bolt, Daniel – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This article reviews research on executive function (EF) skills in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the relation between EF and language abilities. The current study assessed EF using nonverbal tasks of inhibition, shifting, and updating of working memory (WM) in school-age children with ASD. It also evaluated the…

Bottema-Beutel, Kristen; Woynaroski, Tiffany; Louick, Rebecca; Stringer Keefe, Elizabeth; Watson, Linda R.; Yoder, Paul J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
We examined differences between children with autism spectrum disorder and typically developing children over an 8-month period in: (a) longitudinal associations between expressive and receptive vocabulary and (b) the extent to which caregiver utterances provided within an "optimal" engagement state mediated the pathway from early…

Parsons, Dave; Cordier, Reinie; Lee, Hoe; Falkmer, Torbjorn; Vaz, Sharmila – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
This exploratory randomised controlled trial tested the effectiveness of a tablet-based information communication technology early intervention application to augment existing therapy with the aim of improving visual motor, imitation, language and social skills in young children with ASD who reside in regional areas. Fifty-nine participants were…

McDaniel, Jena; Yoder, Paul; Woynaroski, Tiffany; Watson, Linda R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Correlates of receptive-expressive vocabulary size discrepancies may provide insights into why language development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) deviates from typical language development and ultimately improve intervention outcomes. Method: We indexed receptive-expressive vocabulary size discrepancies of 65 initially…

Vidal, Verónica; McAllister, Anita; DeThorne, Laura – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: The present clinical focus draws on an intrinsic case study to provide a thick description of the communication profile of John, a 9-year-old minimally verbal autistic student. Method: Specifically, traditional behavioral assessments, classroom video observations, and semistructured interviews were used to gather information regarding…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand how joint attention and sensory-regulatory features are related in early childhood and predict language and social-communication outcomes in preschool in order to build mechanistic theories that can inform early intervention directed at improving these outcomes. Method: Cross-lagged panel…

Venker, Courtney E.; Kover, Sara T.; Weismer, Susan Ellis – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This study investigated whether the ability to learn word-object associations following minimal exposure (i.e., fast mapping) was associated with concurrent and later language abilities in children with ASD. Children who were poor learners at age 3½ had significantly lower receptive language abilities than children who successfully learned the new…

Ünlü, Emre; Vuran, Sezgin; Diken, Ibrahim Halil – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2018
Discrete Trial Training (DTT) is one of many scientific based practices used in the education of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is seen that many evidence based practices are limited to the studies conducted by universities and cannot become widespread. Involvement of parents in their children's education processes and…
