Spectrum Disorders

The article describes assistive technologies — mobile applications «I Read Without Mom» and «My Album», developed to educate children with autism spectrum disorders. Presented applications are designed on the basis of the traditions of national scientific knowledge and aimed to help in solving the problem of including children with autism spectrum disorders in the educational environment. Discussed applications can help to organize work with children, can become a functional prosthesis in the absence of speech at the initial stage of working with the child (one of the applications can be used as a communicator). Applications goals include: pointing out and development of the child’s «I-action», development of a «concept area comprehension», development of oral speech, in non-speaking preschool children this is implemented by restructuring the way the impaired function is realized. Mobile applications which are focused on a generalized method of pedagogical action developed as a template that allows to use it variably, personifying the educational trajectory not only in working with ASD children. The applications are supplemented with methodological recommendations for professionals and parents.

Developmental Stuttering

This descriptive study evaluates the speech disfluencies of 8 verbal children between 3 and 5 years of age with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Speech samples were collected for each child during standardized interactions. Percentage and types of disfluencies observed during speech samples are discussed. Although they did not have a clinical diagnosis of stuttering, all of the young children with ASD in this study produced disfluencies. In addition to stuttering-like disfluencies and other typical disfluencies, the children with ASD also produced atypical disfluencies, which usually are not observed in children with typically developing speech or developmental stuttering.

Spectrum Disorders

In this article, I will review the available recent literature about the aging population with autism, a patient group that researchers know little about and a group that is experiencing a growing need for support from communication disorders professionals. Speech-language pathologists working with geriatric patients should become familiar with this issue, as the numbers of older patients with autism spectrum disorders is likely to increase. Our profession and our health care system must prepare to meet the challenge these patients and residents will present as they age.
