Early Motor and Communicative Development in Infants With an Older Sibling With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Conclusions Advances in communicative and language development are supported by advances in motor skill. When these advances are slowed and/or when new skills are not consolidated and remain challenging for the infant, the enhanced potential for exploration afforded by new abilities and the concomitant increase in opportunities for learning are reduced. Improving our understanding of communicative delays of the sort observed in ASD and developing effective intervention methods requires going beyond the individual to consider the constant, complex interplay between developing communicators and their environments.Presentation Videohttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.7299308 (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)
