Jessica Blume; Meghan Miller; Daniela O'Neill; Sally Ozonoff; Ann M. Mastergeorge – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The aims of this study were (a) to evaluate the convergent validity of the Language Use Inventory (LUI) with measures of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms, language, and social skills and (b) to assess discriminant validity of the LUI with measures of nonlanguage skills, including daily living skills and motor development. Method:…

Jiménez-Romero, Ma Salud; Fernández-Urquiza, Maite; Benítez-Burraco, Antonio – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Chromosome 16p11.2 deletion syndrome (OMIM #611913) is a rare genetic condition resulting from the partial deletion of approximately 35 genes located at Chromosome 16. Affected people exhibit a variable clinical profile, featuring mild dysmorphisms, motor problems, developmental delay, mild intellectual disability (ID), socialization…

Maltman, Nell; Hilvert, Elizabeth; Friedman, Laura; Sterling, Audra – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Expressive language impairments are common among school-age boys with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autistic boys. Given the high cooccurrence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among individuals with FXS, cross-condition comparisons can elucidate the specificity of such impairments as they relate to ASD. Language samples can provide…

Martin, Gary E.; Bush, Lauren; Klusek, Jessica; Patel, Shivani; Losh, Molly – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Pragmatic language skills are often impaired above and beyond general language delays in individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities. This study used a multimethod approach to language sample analysis to characterize syndrome- and sex-specific profiles across different neurodevelopmental disabilities and to examine the congruency of…

Nowell, Sallie W.; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Baranek, Grace T.; Faldowski, Richard A.; Turner-Brown, Lauren – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
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…

Volden, Joanne; Dodd, Erin; Engel, Kathleen; Smith, Isabel M.; Szatmari, Peter; Fombonne, Eric; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Mirenda, Pat; Bryson, Susan; Roberts, Wendy; Vaillancourt, Tracy; Waddell, Charlotte; Elsabbagh, Mayada; Bennett, Teresa; Georgiades, Stelios; Duku, Eric – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: Impairments in the social use of language are universal in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but few standardized measures evaluate communication skills above the level of individual words or sentences. This study evaluated the Expression, Reception, and Recall of Narrative Instrument (ERRNI; Bishop, 2004) to determine its contribution to…

Bone, Daniel; Lee, Chi-Chun; Black, Matthew P.; Williams, Marian E.; Lee, Sungbok; Levitt, Pat; Narayanan, Shrikanth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2014
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between prosodic speech cues and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) severity, hypothesizing a mutually interactive relationship between the speech characteristics of the psychologist and the child. The authors objectively quantified acoustic-prosodic cues of the psychologist and of the…

Hahn, Laura J.; Brady, Nancy C.; Fleming, Kandace; Warren, Steven F. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2016
Purpose: In this study, we examine joint engagement (JE) in young children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and its relationship to language abilities and autism spectrum disorder symptomatology at 24 to 36 months (toddler period) and 59 to 68 months (child period). Method: Participants were 28 children with FXS (24 boys, four girls) and their…

Ota, Mitsuhiko; Stewart, Mary E.; Petrou, Alexandra M.; Dickie, Catherine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: This study was undertaken to examine whether children exhibit the same relationship that adults show between lexical influence on phoneme identification and individual variation on the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ). Method: Data from 62 4- to 7-year-olds with no diagnosis of autism were analyzed. The main task involved identification of…

Lucas, Rebecca; Norbury, Courtenay Frazier – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: Many children with communication disorders have reading comprehension difficulties, and in order to target interventions effectively it is important to identify which specific components of comprehension are especially challenging. The current study explored the relationship between text-inferencing skill, autistic symptomatology, and…

Roberts, Joanne; Martin, Gary E.; Moskowitz, Lauren; Harris, Adrianne A.; Foreman, Jamila; Nelson, Lauren – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: This study compared the conversational discourse skills of boys who have fragile X syndrome with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with those of boys with Down syndrome and boys who are typically developing. Method: Participants were boys who have fragile X syndrome with (n = 26) and without (n = 28) ASD, boys with Down syndrome…

Pirinen, Veera; Loukusa, Soile; Dindar, Katja; Mäkinen, Leena; Hurtig, Tuula; Jussila, Katja; Mattila, Marja-Leena; Eggers, Kurt – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the nature of speech disfluencies in autistic young adults and controls by using a wide-range disfluency classification of typical disfluencies (TD; i.e., filled pauses, revisions, abandoned utterances, and multisyllable word and phrase repetitions), stuttering-like disfluencies (SLD; i.e., sound…

Purpose: Using a novel parent report measure, this study investigated whether asking parents to rate their certainty when reporting on child vocabulary skills provided additional insight into parent report and emerging language abilities in young autistic children. Specifically, we investigated whether parent certainty varied based on whether the…

Girolamo, Teresa; Rice, Mabel L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Little is known about the specific nature of language abilities of autistic adolescents and young adults with language impairment (LI), limiting our knowledge of developmental trajectories and ability to develop efficacious speech/language supports. An important first step is establishing proof of concept of identification of LI in this…
