A deficit in communication is not only one of the earliest and most frequently reported concerns by parents of young children later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but is also among the most frequent reasons for the...
Early intervention for toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is critical, given the potential for altering brain development and the increasing focus on early screening and diagnosis. Evidence is emerging for the efficacy of...
Autism can be reliably diagnosed at 18-24 months; however, the average age of diagnosis remains at 4-5 years, which is relatively high in relation to the earliest age at which it can be accurately diagnosed. This gap in diagnosis...
Learning to read is a major developmental achievement with wide ranging societal, educational, and economic costs associated with low literacy attainment. A robust body of literature has documented the stability and persistence of...
Early detection of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is crucial to optimizing child and family outcomes. Most research on the early diagnostic features of ASD has been done in the clinic environment; therefore there is a need for research...
Limited research has examined the gesture use of young children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a home-based setting. Observation in the natural environment can supplement assessments that take place in structured...
Introduction: Although there is a general convergence of research which indicates that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have deficits in play behavior, substantial gaps remain in our knowledge of play in children with ASD....
Racial and ethnic diversity is growing rapidly in the United States (US), leading to heightened concerns about racial/ethnic disparities in the provision of services for young toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This...
Individuals with developmental language disorders experience an array of challenges that persist from childhood into adulthood, highlighting the need for advancements in early detection and intervention for this population. The...
Repetitive and stereotyped behaviors (RSB) are an early diagnostic feature of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, few studies have systematically examined the context and functions of RSB in young children with ASD. This study...
Objective: Difficulties with emotion regulation underlie emotional and behavioral problems as well as psychiatric comorbidity in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet very little is known about the early development of emotion...
