In study 2, children with ASD (6-12 years old; n = 12) could categorize the point-light displays at above-chance levels, but performed less efficiently, especially for the social interaction displays, than TD children (matched to chronological and non-verbal mental age, 6-12 years old; n...
The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2) is a leading diagnostic tool clinicians use to evaluate for possible ASD. During this natural, play-based assessment, our experts work with children to observe their communication, social skills, and behaviors. Learn more about the...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) make progress in learning to use action verb symbols on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) applications across different communicative functions (requesting, labeling) and instructional formats (em...
Probiotics may mitigate gastrointestinal symptoms and ameliorate behavioural manifestations in ASD by influencing gut microbiota composition. Understanding the intricate connections between the gut and the brain in ASD, along with the therapeutic potential of probiotics, offers promising avenues for intervention...
Decision-making via monitoring others’ actions is a cornerstone of interpersonal exchanges. Although the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) and the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) are cortical nodes in social brain networks, the two areas are rarely concurre
(i.e. motor intention, reaching-for-placing and reaching-for-eating) when the distal goal is set (Sinigaglia, 2013a,b). In other words, TD children can encode both action and intention understanding “motorically” (i.e. “from the inside”); ASD children seem able to understand the ...

collateral changes, such as increased self-care and social behavior (Scotti et al.1991), less stress, and increased attention to tasks (Petscher et al.2009). Finally, the general public shows greater support for DRA over punishment because of the opportunity for reward (Petscher and Bailey...
Eigsti, Bennetto, and Dadlani (2007) found that the length and complexity of sentences produced by children with ASD were significantly lower than those of TD controls matched by vocabulary. This finding indicates that children with ASD have specific syntactic deficits. In light of these specific...
