Reliability of a novel paradigm for determining hemispheric lateralization of visuospatial function

In most individuals, language production and visuospatial skills are subserved predominantly by the left and right hemispheres, respectively.

Inner speech impairment in children with autism is associated with greater nonverbal than verbal skills

We present a new analysis of Whitehouse, Maybery, and Durkin's (2006, Experiment 3) data on inner speech in children with autism (CWA).

Qualitative aspects of developmental language impairment relate to language and literacy outcome in adulthood

Developmental language disorder is a heterogeneous diagnostic category. Little research has compared the long-term outcomes of children with different...

The broader language phenotype of Autism: A comparison with Specific Language Impairment

Some individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience linguistic difficulties similar to those found in individuals with specific language...

Inner speech impairments in autism

Centralising Local Aboriginal Language and Culture in Healthy Skin Books on the See Treat Prevent (SToP) Trial in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia: A Process and Impact Inquiry

Language is significant for communicating knowledge across cultures and generations and has the power to attribute meanings and alter our worldviews.

Online Health Literacy Resources for People With Intellectual Disability: A Grey Literature Scoping Review

People with intellectual disability experience higher rates of physical and mental health problems than those without intellectual disability. Health literacy includes accessing, understanding, appraising and applying health information. Improving health literacy is associated with better health outcomes. The internet is a primary source of health information for many people. This study aimed to evaluate available online health resources for people with intellectual disability and their families to understand information gaps.

Arcuate fasciculus and pre-reading language development in children with prenatal alcohol exposure

Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) contributes to widespread neurodevelopmental challenges, including reading, and has been associated with altered white matter. Here, we aimed to investigate whether arcuate fasciculus development is associated with pre-reading language skills in young children with PAE.

Caregiver sensitivity predicts infant language use, and infant language complexity predicts caregiver language complexity, in the context of possible emerging autism

While theory supports bidirectional effects between caregiver sensitivity and language use, and infant language acquisition-both caregiver-to-infant and also infant-to-caregiver effects-empirical research has chiefly explored the former unidirectional path. In the context of infants showing early signs of autism, we investigated prospective bidirectional associations with 6-min free-play interaction samples collected for 103 caregivers and their infants (mean age 12-months; and followed up 6-months later).
