Predicting Spoken Language Level in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Abstract
Thirty-five children who received an autism spectrum diagnosis at the age of 2 years (24 with autism, 11 with PDD-NOS) were re-evaluated 2 years later to examine factors related to the development of spoken language. Child variables (play level, motor imitation ability and joint attention) and environmental variables (socioeconomic status and hours of speech/language therapy between ages 2 and 3) were used to predict an aggregate measure of language outcome at age 4. After controlling for age 2 language skills, the only significant predictors were motor imitation and number of hours of sther speech/language therapy. Implications of these results for understanding the early developmental course of autism spectrum disorders and the effects of intervention are discussed.

“The ability to imitate sounds and simple movements is one key predictor of expressive language [e.g. Luyster, Kadlec, Carter, & Tager-Flusberg, 2008; Stone & Yoder, 2001; Thurm, Lord, Lee, & Newschaffer, 2007].”

“In children with autism, imitation skills have been found to correlate with early language ability (Dawson & Adams, 1984) and to predict later language ability (Charman et al., 2000, 2003; Stone et al., 1997; Stone & Yoder, 2001).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
