Cornish, K. M.; McManus, I. C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1996
A study of children (ages 3-5 and 11-13) with autism (n=35), learning disabilities (n=26), or no disabilities (n=90) found that the nondisabled children were more lateralized than others in degree and consistency of handedness. No evidence was found of a dissociation of hand skill and hand preference in children with autism, compared to others.…

Descriptors: Children, Etiology, Exceptional Child Research, Lateral Dominance
West, Robert, Ed. – 1962
A group of experts met at the Stanford Medical Center in 1960 to assist the California Society for Crippled Children and Adults in establishing guidelines for the development of services for aphasic children. Subjects discussed were (1) language development in the normal child, (2) neurological bases of linguistic functions, (3) semantic aspects…
