Overview

"The current study explored the role of overheard speech on first-and second-person pronoun mastery in children with ASD. Seventy-four caregivers of children with ASD (aged 2;2-5;11) participated in an online caregiver survey to measure overheard speech and pronoun mastery. Results suggested higher access to overheard speech was associated with greater mastery of the pronouns me, my, you, and your. Logistic regressions confirmed the role of overheard speech for the pronouns me, my, and you. These findings suggest that children with ASD may benefit from overheard speech during pronoun development similarly to TD (typically developing) peers." --Abstract.
