Spectrum Disorders

It is difficult to find place among peers for children with autism spectrum disorders, so it is necessary to equip them for this with as many instruments as possible. Sport can be a support and a guide to the society for many children, because a good player is valued in any team, even if he is a bit strange and does not quite fit into the team. The co-founder, head of the Israeli Center for Correction of Autism and Learning Problems «SULAMOT Group» and the mother of an adolescent with autism is reflecting on the questions of the role of sport in habilitation and socialization of children with autism spectrum disorders.

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.
