The current study examined the relation between bilingualism and the language and social communication skills of toddlers diagnosed with ASD (N=353) in the US, while controlling for socioeconomic risk factors. Structural equation modeling showed no differences in language skills between bilingual Spanish-English speaking children and monolingual English-speaking (p=.596) or monolingual Spanish-speaking (p=.963) children and showed a bilingual advantage on socialization skills when comparing bilingual and monolingual English-speaking children (p=.001). Parents of autistic children exposed to Spanish and English should be encouraged to raise their child bilingually if it best suits familial needs.

Brief Report: Predicting Social Skills from Semantic, Syntactic, and Pragmatic Language Among Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Sarah LEVINSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-11 (November 2020)

Existing research has focused on the contributions of pragmatic language to social skills, with little attention to other aspects of language. We examined the associations across three language domains (semantics, syntax, and pragmatics) and their relations to parent- and teacher-rated social skills among children with ASD. When parent-reported language skills were considered simultaneously, only semantics significantly predicted children's social skills. For teacher-reported language skills, all three language domains predicted children's social skills, but none made unique contributions above and beyond one another. Further research should consider the impact of social context on language expectations and interventions targeting semantic language on children's development of social skills.

Emotion Regulation in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Lauren D. BERKOVITS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-1 (January 2017)

This study examined the stability of emotion regulation and its relationship with other aspects of child functioning. Participants included 108 children with ASD, ages 4–7, and their primary caregivers. ASD symptoms and cognitive/language abilities were assessed upon study entry. Parents reported on children’s emotion regulation, social skills and behavior problems at two time points, 10 months apart. Emotion dysregulation was stable and related strongly to social and behavioral functioning but was largely independent of IQ. Further analyses suggested that emotion dysregulation predicts increases in social and behavioral difficulties across time. Implications for intervention are discussed.

General Education Teachers' Perceptions of Autism, Inclusive Practices, and Relationship Building Strategies / Yasamin BOLOURIAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-9 (September 2022)

In focus groups, teachers (N=18) identified terms they associated with autism and strategies they used for inclusion and relationship building. Participants systematically free-listed and ranked their responses to three prompts. Using ranked responses, saliency scores were calculated to assess the perceived importance and frequency of responses. Teachers' most salient perceptions of autism (e.g., social difficulties, focused/fixed interests) revealed an awareness of core symptoms. Salient inclusion practices included assigning special classroom responsibilities and showcasing student talents; salient relationship-building strategies included embracing students' special interests and engaging in one-on-one time. Implications for teacher trainings are discussed.

Impact of student-teacher relationship quality on classroom behavioral engagement for young students on the autism spectrum / Ainsley LOSH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 98 (October 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 98 (October 2022) . - 102027 Titre : Impact of student-teacher relationship quality on classroom behavioral engagement for young students on the autism spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ainsley LOSH, Auteur ; Abbey EISENHOWER, Auteur ; Jan BLACHER, Auteur Article en page(s) : 102027 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  ASD  Academic engagement  Behavioral engagement  Student-teacher relationships  Elementary Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Student academic behavioral engagement (BE) contributes to learning and school success. Student-teacher relationships (STRs) may promote BE, although previous findings regarding how these constructs are associated over time are mixed. For young autistic students who face barriers to early school success, a high-quality STR may serve as a key protective factor to promote classroom engagement. Methods The present study investigated connections between teacher-rated STR quality and student BE over two school years for 146 young autistic children (grade PK-2) using cross-lagged structural equation modeling. A full model with cross-lagged paths from BE to STR quality and from STR quality to BE was first examined. Potential confounding variables (i.e., externalizing behaviors, cognitive skills, and language skills) were included. The model was then trimmed by removing all non-significant paths. It was hypothesized that the final model would highlight the unidirectional influence of STR quality on BE. Results Results supported the unidirectional influence of STR quality on BE across one school year. STR quality at the beginning of the first school year predicted behavioral engagement at the end of the year (Î2=.26, p<.01) BE outcomes persisted into the following school year (Î2=.45, p<.001). Conclusions Findings suggest that STR quality significantly contributes to engagement for young autistic students, potentially serving as a critical protective factor for classroom success. This highlights the importance of developing quality STRs with high levels of closeness and low levels of conflict for students on the spectrum in early schooling.
