- W4210761567 abstract "Abstract Background: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in conversation skills, yet the growth of conversation abilities is understudied, especially in Chinese-speaking populations, whose autism rates are rising. Additionally, little is known about whether parents’ verbal responsiveness (utterances that follow the child’s focus of attention, actions, and communications) and redirectives (utterances that require the child to change the focus of attention) are related to their ASD children’s elicitation of responses in a conversation. This study had two aims: 1) documenting the growth of conversation skills in Chinese-speaking preschool children with autism; 2) investigating the association between parents’ verbal responsiveness and redirectives and the production of appropriate responses in the children with ASD and the number of conversational turns in the parent-child dyads. Method: Participants were taken from a larger intervention project for (Cantonese) Chinese-speaking individuals with ASD. Thirty-seven participants with ASD (32 males), average age five to six years, and their parents, contributed their language samples. These children interacted with their parents at four time points over nine months. Each time, the parents and children played with a standard set of toys for 20 minutes. The severity of autism, cognitive functioning, and language abilities of the children were assessed before the collection of their language samples. Results: Our findings showed that the number of conversational turns and the proportion of child-initiated conversation (but not the proportion of children’s appropriate responses) grew over the course of nine months. After controlling for time, autism severity, and language skills, parents’ verbal responsiveness positively predicted children’s appropriate responses. Parents’ redirectives negatively predicted the proportion of children’s appropriate responses and the number of conversational turns. Limitations: Our language samples were collected from 37 children aged four to eight years. Even though they were followed at four time points, this is too small a sample and heterogeneity of language abilities is not observed along the lifespan in individuals with autism. Conclusions: Some but not all aspects of conversation skills grew over nine months in Chinese-speaking children with ASD. Parents’ verbal responsiveness was positively related to the children’s elicitation of appropriate responses." @default.
