Unconventional language in autism spectrum disorder : associations with child characteristics and adult outcomes, 2018
Item
Identifier: cd_2018spring_maeda_mika.pdf
Overview
"Children with autism spectrum disorder often use unconventional language (e.g., echolalia, stereotyped speech). However, based on the existing literature, it remains unclear whether unconventional language is best understood as a marker of developmental achievement or a problematic behavior. The present investigation is comprised of three smaller studies, each using an existing longitudinal dataset. Study 1 revealed that young children with high levels of clinician-observed unconventional...

Item
Identifier: cd_2018spring_swaminathan_divya.pdf

Many service delivery models have been proposed to manage rising caseload sizes. One particular approach, Response to Intervention (RTI), was introduced in the 2004 reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This model ensures that children who do not require special education services still receive individualized support. Given the risk...
