how handy are baby signs a systematic review of the impact of gestural Communication on typically developing hearing infants under the age of 36 months
Language, 2014Co-Authors: Elizabeth M Fitzpatrick, Jonelle Thibert, Viviane Grandpierre, Cyne J JohnstonAbstract:Baby sign language is advocated to improve children’s Communication Development. However, the evidence to support the advantages of baby sign has been inconclusive. A systematic review was undertaken to summarize and appraise the research related to the effectiveness of symbolic gestures for typically developing, hearing infants with hearing parents. Eight electronic databases, reference lists, and websites were searched for relevant studies published from January 1990 to February 2013. Studies were included if they involved typically developing hearing children who were exposed to symbolic gestures before age 36 months. Of 1902 identified citations, 10 reports met the inclusion criteria. This review shows that the effectiveness of baby sign in improving Communication Development remains unclear. However, no evidence was identified to suggest that using baby sign interferes with typical child Development.

social and Communication Development in toddlers with early and later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders
Archives of General Psychiatry, 2007Co-Authors: Rebecca Landa, Katherine C Holman, Elizabeth GarrettmayerAbstract:Context To our knowledge, no prospective studies of the Developmental course of early and later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders from 14 months of age exist. Objective To examine patterns of Development from 14 to 24 months in children with early and later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders. Design Prospective, longitudinal design in which 125 infants at high and low risk for autism were tested from age 14 to 36 months. Comprehensive standardized assessments included measures of social, Communication, and play behavior. Setting Testing occurred at a major medical and research institution as part of a large, ongoing longitudinal study. Participants Low-risk controls (n = 18) and siblings of children with autism, grouped on the basis of outcome diagnostic classification at 30 or 36 months: autism spectrum disorders (early diagnosis, n = 16; later diagnosis, n = 14), broader autism phenotype (n = 19), and non–broader autism phenotype (n = 58). Main Outcome Measures Social, Communication, and symbolic abilities were assessed. Results Social, Communication, and play behavior in the early-diagnosis group differed from that in all other groups by 14 months of age. By 24 months, the later-diagnosis group differed from the non–autism spectrum disorder groups in social and Communication behavior, but not from the early-diagnosis group. Examination of growth trajectories suggests that autism may involve Developmental arrest, slowing, or even regression. Conclusion This study provides insight into different patterns of Development of children with early vs later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders.

response to joint attention in toddlers at risk for autism spectrum disorder a prospective study
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2007Co-Authors: Michelle Sullivan, Elizabeth Garrettmayer, Julianna Finelli, Alison R Marvin, Margaret L Bauman, Rebecca LandaAbstract:Response to joint attention (RJA) is impaired in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is pivotal to social and Communication Development. Response to joint attention was examined at 14 and 24 months in 51 children at high risk for autism (siblings of children with autism). Outcome groups at age 3 years included ASD (n = 16), broader autism phenotype (n = 8), and non-broader autism phenotype (n = 27). The ASD group made minimal improvement in RJA between 14 and 24 months, but stability of RJA across tasks increased for all three groups. Significantly, lower RJA was observed for the ASD group at 24 months. Response to joint attention performance at 14 months predicted ASD outcome. Response to joint attention is an important screening and early intervention target.

early Communication Development and intervention for children with autism
Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews, 2007Co-Authors: Rebecca LandaAbstract:Autism is a neuroDevelopmental disorder defined by impairments in social and Communication Development, accompanied by stereotyped patterns of behavior and interest. The focus of this paper is on the early Development of Communication in autism, and early intervention for impairments in Communication associated with this disorder. An overview of components of Communication is provided. Communication characteristics that are diagnostic of autism are summarized, with consideration of the overlap between social and Communication impairment, particularly for children with autism functioning at the prelinguistic level. Early Communication Development and predictors of Communication functioning in autism are examined, based on a review of prospective and retrospective studies. The focus of the discussion then turns to intervention. Consideration is given to the rationale for beginning intervention as early in life as possible for children with autism. Implications of motor, imitation, and play deficits for Communication-based intervention are examined. Finally, issues related to the design and delivery of intervention for young children with autism are presented, along with a review of the major early intervention approaches for autism.
