AbstractUnderstanding differences in social-emotional behavior can help identify atypical development. This study examined the differences in social-emotional development in children at increased risk of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis (infant siblings of children diagnosed with the disorder). Parents completed the Brief Infant-Toddler Social-Emotional Assessment (BITSEA) to determine its ability to flag children with later-diagnosed ASD in a high-risk (HR) sibling population. Parents of HR (n = 311) and low-risk (LR; no family history of ASD; n = 127) children completed the BITSEA when their children were 18 months old and all children underwent a diagnostic assessment for ASD at age 3 years. All six subscales of the BITSEA (Problems, Competence, ASD Problems, ASD Competence, Total ASD Score, and Red Flags) distinguished between those in the HR group who were diagnosed with ASD (n = 84) compared to non-ASD-diagnosed children (both HR-N and LR). One subscale (BITSEA Competence) differentiated between the HR children not diagnosed with ASD and the LR group. The results suggest that tracking early social-emotional development may have implications for all HR children, as they are at increased risk of ASD but also other developmental or mental health conditions.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an aetiologically complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social functioning. Children with ASD display a wide range of social competence and more variability in social domains as compared with either communication or repetitive behaviour domains. There is limited understanding of factors that contribute to the heterogeneity of social abilities in ASD. A modified version of McKown and colleagues’ social competence model was used to examine social competence in 49 8- to 13-year-old boys with ASD without cognitive disability. The relations between executive function (EF), social emotional learning (SEL), and parent reports of child social competence were examined. Results showed that EF but not SEL predicted parent-reported child social competence. Although many interventions target SEL skills, these findings support specifically targeting EF in both assessment and interventions of school-aged children with ASD.

Smartphone apps are used with increased frequency to teach children a variety of skills and to supplement more traditional forms of instruction. In particular, children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) could benefit from applications suited to help them build social emotional skills that could contribute to more successful social interactions. In the study, the authors first investigated and compiled a list of existing apps to see where gaps exist in topic coverage. From this survey of existing smartphone apps for children with ASD, they developed a new app called LEA (Learning Emotions with Autism) that challenges children to interact in a social setting by responding to emotional cues, and having other children determine the emotion that is expressed. This app provides a new context to help children focus their attention on facial cues in order to recognize and interpret emotions through supported peer interaction. In this chapter, the authors discuss how this app was designed and implemented. They also provide a tutorial on how to develop smartphone apps that can be used for ASD research.

В данной статье проанализированы особенности формирования коммуникативных навыков у детей с расстройством аутистического спектра. Анализ литературы, показал, что у большинства у детей с расстройством аутистического спектра коммуникативные нарушения обусловлены нарушениями социального взаимодействия, трудности с подражанием и имитацией движений по образцу, затруднено опознавание эмоциального состояния других людей. Развитие коммуникативных навыков является одним из важнейших направлений коррекционной работы с детьми с расстройствами аутистического спектра. Обучение делать заявления, комментировать события, задавать вопросы для получения информации, выражать и связывать эмоции, а также навыки реагирования, социального поведения и диалога являются предпосылками социализации детей. Учитывая особенности развития коммуникативных навыков у детей с расстройством аутистического спектра, авторами рассмотрены развивающие методики по формированию коммуникативных навыков у детей с расстройством аутистического спектра, применяемые в коррекционной педагогической работе. Представленные методы коррекции коммуникативных навыков у детей с расстройствами аутистического спектра направлены на формирование основных коммуникативных функций, социально-эмоциональных и диалогических навыков. Известно, что сформированные коммуникативные навыки обеспечивают социальную компетентность, диалогические коммуникативные навыки, взаимодействие и сотрудничество со сверстниками и взрослыми. Таким образом, методы формирования вербальных и невербальных коммуникативных функций, социально-эмоциональных умений и навыков диалога используются для коррекции и развития коммуникативных умений у детей с расстройствами аутистического спектра. This article analyzes the features of the formation of communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder. The analysis of the literature showed that in most children with autism spectrum disorder, communication disorders caused by violations of social interaction, difficulties with imitation and imitation of movements on the model, it is difficult to recognize the emotional state of other people. The development of communication skills is one of the most important areas of correctional work with children with autism spectrum disorders. Learning to make statements, comment on events, ask questions for information express and connect emotions, as well as the skills of reaction, social behavior and dialogue are prerequisites for the socialization of children. Taking into account the peculiarities of the development of communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder, the authors consider developing methods for the formation of communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder, used in correctional pedagogical work. The presented methods of correction of communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorders aimed at the formation of basic communication functions, social-emotional and dialogic skills. It known that the formed communication skills provide social competence, dialogic communication skills, interaction and cooperation with peers and adults. Thus, methods for the formation of verbal and non-verbal communication functions, socio-emotional skills and dialogue skills used to correct and develop communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorders.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a set of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social communication (social-emotional reciprocity, non verbal interaction and developing and maintaining relationships) and restricted and repetitive behavioral patterns or interests.1 Autism is a multi-factorial, rather than single, disorder of complex etiology.
