Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > (March 2015) . - p.1-10 Titre : Autistic children at risk of being underestimated: school-based pilot study of a strength-informed assessment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Valérie COURCHESNE, Auteur ; Andrée-Anne S. MEILLEUR, Auteur ; Marie-Pier POULIN-LORD, Auteur ; Michelle DAWSON, Auteur ; Isabelle SOULIERES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-10 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : An important minority of school-aged autistic children, often characterized as ‘nonverbal’ or ‘minimally verbal,’ displays little or no spoken language. These children are at risk of being judged ‘low-functioning’ or ‘untestable’ via conventional cognitive testing practices. One neglected avenue for assessing autistic children so situated is to engage current knowledge of autistic cognitive strengths. Our aim was thus to pilot a strength-informed assessment of autistic children whose poor performance on conventional instruments suggests their cognitive potential is very limited.
