“…They all had algorithm scores below the cut-off for ASD on the ADOS (module 1 or 2) and no classification of ASD on the ICD-10 algorithm. The children in the control group (n = 21) were selected from a larger control group (N = 47) that had been recruited for a study including children with language difficulties (Jansen et al, 2013), and were matched on developmental age and gender (Table 1).…”

Pre-school age can be a stressful time for parents of a young child with autism spectrum disorder. This study investigated whether parenting stress and externalising behaviour problems were similarly associated to parenting behaviours in 42 mothers of pre-schoolers with and without autism, using observations and questionnaires. Mothers of autistic pre-schoolers reported more parenting stress and more externalising behaviour problems, demonstrated fewer sensitive and more negative behaviours, and reported less stimulation of their child’s development, compared with mothers in the control group. In both groups, externalising behaviour problems predicted negativity during observation, and parenting stress predicted reported autonomy support. Our findings may suggest that mothers of autistic pre-schoolers are still struggling to tune their parenting behaviour to their child’s needs.

“…Finally, the need for ways to code more qualitative information regarding individual behavior which emerged from the data justifies additional differentiating subcategories of Signs of functionality (3.4) and Signs of emerging intentionality (3.5). These qualitative differences are linked with the emergence of intentional communication (Jansen et al, 2013;Neerinckx, Vos, Van Den Noortgate, & Maes, 2014;Paavola, Kunnari, & Moilanen, 2005;Prizant & Wetherby, 1987;Rowland, 2011). Signs of functionality (3.4) is applicable in case the behavior of the individual is less idiosyncratic, thus, assigning a function is less ambiguous.…”

The aim of this study was to develop a coding scheme that enables researchers and practitioners to conduct a detailed analysis of the communicative behavior of young children with significant cognitive and motor developmental delays. Currently, there is a paucity of methods to do conduct such an analysis. For the study, video observations of three different scenarios from 38 children with significant cognitive and motor developmental delays aged between 12 and 54 months, were used. Findings from the video observations served as the primary means for development of the coding scheme, which comprises three main categoriescontext, partner behavior, and individual behaviorand several subcategories. The coding scheme was used to document the early expressive communicative behavior of persons with significant cognitive and motor developmental delays in a detailed manner. This fine-grained information is necessary to differentiate children based on their communicative abilities, to monitor their communicative development longitudinally, and to inform person-centered communicative interventions.

“…Research suggests that children with poorly developed language may experience social problems. Jansen, Culemans, Grauwels, Maljaars, Zink, Steyaert, Noens (2013);Higgin, McLaughlin, and Mark Derby (2011); and Qi and Kaiser (2004) compared social skills of children with language delay with normal children. Therefore, research focusing on intervention strategies intended to improve communicative language might greatly benefit children with autism from the perspective of enriching language and increasing the opportunity for socialization.…”

Children with autism have problems with receptive language. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of using direct instruction in teaching receptive language skills to children with autism. The sample consisted of 18 students with autism, their age ranged between five and seven years. All participants had autism that affected their receptive language performance. An experimental design was used to compare the receptive language skills of nine students in the experimental group who received a direct instruction program with nine students in the control group who received traditional instruction. The teachers carried out 14 sessions. The results indicated that there were significant improvement differences between the two groups in favor of receptive language skills of children with autism in favor of the experimental group. The study was practical, low cost, and easy to implement the procedure to improve receptive language skills for children with autism. The results and their implications are discussed further.
