Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.
Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a...

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Hearing

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Summary

This study found limited differences in auditory processing in toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Auditory processing measures did not relate to language development in children with ASD.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Developmental Psychology
Audiology

Background:

Auditory processing research in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has primarily focused on school-aged children.
Understanding neural auditory processing in toddlers with ASD is crucial for early intervention and support.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate neural auditory processing in 2- to 3-year-old children with ASD.
To examine the relationship between auditory processing measures and language development in toddlers with ASD.

Main Methods:

Employed auditory processing measures, including click auditory brainstem responses and speech-evoked frequency-following responses.
Compared auditory processing in typically developing children (n=18) and children with ASD (n=18).

Main Results:

Found limited significant differences in auditory processing measures between the two groups.
No significant relationships were identified between auditory processing measures and language development in children with ASD.

Conclusions:

Further research is needed to fully characterize auditory processing in toddlers with ASD.
Longitudinal studies are recommended to explore the developmental relationship between auditory processing and ASD symptomatology over time.
