Can Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Learn New Vocabulary From Linguistic Context? / Rebecca LUCAS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-7 (July 2017)

Titre : Can Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Learn New Vocabulary From Linguistic Context? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca LUCAS, Auteur ; Louisa THOMAS, Auteur ; Courtenay F. NORBURY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2205-2216 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder Language impairment Vocabulary instruction Word learning Context Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated whether children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) can learn vocabulary from linguistic context. Thirty-five children with ASD (18 with age-appropriate structural language; 17 with language impairment [ALI]) and 29 typically developing peers were taught 20 Science words. Half were presented in linguistic context from which meaning could be inferred, whilst half were accompanied by an explicit definition. Children with ASD were able to learn from context. Condition did not influence phonological learning, but receptive semantic knowledge was greatest in the context condition, and expressive semantic knowledge greatest in the definitional condition. The ALI group learnt less than their peers. This suggests that at least some vocabulary should be taught explicitly, and children with ALI may need additional tuition.

Titre : Current profiles and early predictors of reading skills in school-age children with autism spectrum disorders: A longitudinal, retrospective population study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : J. ASBERG JOHNELS, Auteur ; E. CARLSSON, Auteur ; Courtenay F. NORBURY, Auteur ; C. GILLBERG, Auteur ; C. MINISCALCO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1449-1459 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders communication and language literacy longitudinal reading school-age children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study explores current reading profiles and concurrent and early predictors of reading in children with autism spectrum disorder. Before the age of 3 years, the study cohort underwent a neurodevelopmental assessment following identification in a population-based autism screening. At age 8 years, reading, language and cognition were assessed. Approximately half of the sample (n = 25) were 'poor readers' at age 8 years, meaning that they scored below the normal range on tests of single word reading and reading comprehension. And 18 were 'skilled readers' performing above cut-offs. The final subgroup (n = 10) presented with a 'hyperlexic/poor comprehenders' profile of normal word reading, but poor reading comprehension. The 'poor readers' scored low on all assessments, as well as showing more severe autistic behaviours than 'skilled readers'. Group differences between 'skilled readers' and 'hyperlexics/poor comprehenders' were more subtle: these subgroups did not differ on autistic severity, phonological processing or non-verbal intelligence quotient, but the 'hyperlexics/poor comprehenders' scored significantly lower on tests of oral language. When data from age 3 were considered, no differences were seen between the subgroups in social skills, autistic severity or intelligence quotient. Importantly, however, it was possible to identify oral language weaknesses in those that 5 years later presented as 'poor readers' or 'hyperlexics'.

Titre : Does phonetic repertoire in minimally verbal autistic preschoolers predict the severity of later expressive language impairment? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jo SAUL, Auteur ; Courtenay F. NORBURY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1217-1231 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders communication and language development expressive language longitudinal study minimally verbal Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : What is already known about the topic? Language skills vary enormously in autism: while some autistic individuals can engage in sophisticated conversations, many remain minimally verbal, meaning they use few or no words regularly for communication. We do not know what causes this variation, but we do know that certain child and family characteristics can be measured when a child is young, and this information can improve our prediction of how expressive language might develop over time. What this article adds? We examined four characteristics, which have already been found to predict language development in young minimally verbal autistic children. We followed the expressive language progress of 27 minimally verbal children, aged three to five, for a year. One-third no longer met the minimally verbal criteria at the end of the study. In this sample, only one factor predicted language progress, which was the child's initial speech skills (the number of different speech sounds that the child made during an interaction). This finding adds to the evidence that speech skills contribute to language development in autism. In some cases, persistent and severe expressive language difficulties may reflect an additional deficit in speech production, rather than a consequence of core autism features. Implications for practice, research or policy Our findings suggest that there are factors other than social skills that influence language development in autism. Careful assessment of speech production should be considered when language does not develop as expected. Future research should evaluate speech skills interventions for minimally verbal autistic individuals, as well as promoting the use of alternative communication systems.

Titre : Editorial: Early intervention in response to language delays – is there a danger of putting too many eggs in the wrong basket? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Courtenay F. NORBURY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.835-836 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Early intervention early language delays child development speech-language therapy language skills predictors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To most people it seems incontrovertible that when a child's development appears to be lagging, the earlier we intervene the better. This commonly held belief drives a considerable research effort to identify ‘biomarkers’ of disorder at ever younger ages, so that treatment can be made available to infants, before overt signs of disorder are apparent and difficulties become entrenched. Although much of this work has focused on early interventions for autism spectrum disorder, similar efforts have been directed at remediating early language delays. If we could reliably predict in infancy which children would have persistent language learning impairments, early intervention would of course have potentially wide ranging benefits. In fact, the promise of early intervention is such that in times of austerity, some speech-language therapy providers are prioritising services to the under-fives, with little or no direct intervention to school-aged children. And services to pupils in secondary school are almost non-existent, much to the frustration of parents and school staff who see the language demands of the curriculum and the social environment increasing exponentially during adolescence. This Editorial focuses on the evidence for early intervention for children presenting with language delays, in the context of articles published in this issue of JCPP that focus on early language development.
