For children with autism spectrum disorderwho typically experience communication problems, communication skillsare often considered a significant indicator for their development. Information concerning language and communication skills, and a history of the language interventions that a child has received is important information for planning further interventions as the child enters his/ her teenage years. Unfortunately, research on communication and language problems for teenagers with autism receive little attention. This study intends to fill that gap. Based on interviews with two teenagers with autism in Yogyakarta this research seeks to understand theproblems and challenges faced by teenagers with autism. The research also examines the efforts of parents and/or teachers in developing language and communication skills.Data collection was conducted from September-December 2014. The primary participants of this research were a 19 year old girl and 16 year old boy with autism; both were attending a specialautism school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research also involve the participants’ significant others, namely the parents and the teachers. The resultsshowed that: 1) the communication skills of the two participants is far below that of their age cohort and; 2) interventions received by the participants significantly improved their communication and language skills, yet did not totally diminish their communications problems.[Kemampuan berkomunikasi merupakan salah satu aspek yang perlu diperhatikan dalam perkembangan penyandang autisme remaja. Informasi mengenai perkembangan kemampuan bahasa dan komunikasi pada penyandang autisme, serta riwayat intervensi komunikasi yang pernah diterima merupakan informasi yang penting sebelum menentukan dan melaksanakan intervensi lanjutan bagi para remaja autis. Penelitian mengenai hambatan komunikasi dan metode pembelajaran komunikasi pada penyandang autisme remaja belum banyak dilakukan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran kasus hambatan komunikasi pada penyandang autisme remaja. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga akan melihat usaha-usaha yang telah dilakukan oleh orangtua maupun sekolah dalam meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi pada remaja autis. Desain yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kasus.Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan analisa dokumen. Proses pengambilan data dilakukan pada bulan September-Desember 2014. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari dua orang penyandang autisme remaja. Subjek pertama berusia 19 tahun dan berjenis kelamin perempuan. Subjek kedua berusia 16 tahun dan berjenis kelamin laki-laki. Keduanya merupakan siswa dari sebuah sekolah lanjutan autis di Yogyakarta. Selain kedua orang subjek, peneliti juga melibatkan significant others, yaitu orang tua dan guru.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) Kemampuan komunikasi penyandang autisme remaja yang menjadi subjek penelitian berada jauh di bawah usia kronologisnya, dan (2) Intervensi yang diberikan kepada subjek sejak masa kanak-kanak hingga remaja berperan dalam mengembangkan kemampuan komunikasi subjek, namun belum dapat menuntaskan hambatan komunikasi yang dialami subjek. Hasil penelitian didiskusikan lebih lanjut.]

This systematic literature review was set out to review available literature on autism spectrum disorder and educational mobile apps with the aim of investigating available educational mobile app and how teachers can utilize these apps in assisting autistic children in acquiring language and communication skills. In order to achieve the aim of the study, the researchers employed a systematic method of investigation. Fifty papers in the areas of autism, educational apps and teaching method for autistic children were downloaded. Twenty-six were carefully selected because of their relevance to the study. The papers were analyzed and the result showed that there are available educational apps that are effective in helping autistic children in acquiring language and communication skills.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problem of the communicative skills development of primary school children with autism spectrum disorders using the information site. The purpose of the article is to highlight the possibilities of using the information site by teachers in the process of communication skills development in children with autism spectrum disorders. Research methodology and methods. The research is based on the methodology of a differentiated approach taking into account the age and individual capabilities of the schoolchildren, as well as the severity of the disorder. Various classifications of autism spectrum disorders have been analyzed, and special attention has been paid to the consideration of the peculiarities of speech development, namely, its communicative function. The stages of the research carried out in order to identify the level of communication skills development of children with autism spectrum disorders and the search for ways of corrective work are reflected. Research results. The results of experimental work with the use of an information site aimed to communication skills development of primary schoolchildren with autism spectrum disorders have been presented. Conclusion. In conclusion we should underline that the communicative skills are one of the main manifestations of autism spectrum disorders and teachers can use information technology (for example, an information site) to develop these skills.

Atypical motor development has frequently been reported in infants at elevated likelihood for autism spectrum disorder. However, no previous study has used detailed motion capture technology to compare infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder and infant siblings with no familial history of autism spectrum disorder. We investigated reaching movements during an interceptive action task in 10-month-old infants using kinematic data with high spatiotemporal resolution. The results indicated that several measures were different in infants at elevated likelihood. However, longitudinal analyses revealed that while specific infant motor measures (e.g. number of movement units) were related to broad measures of general developmental level in toddlerhood, the associations with later autism spectrum disorder symptomatology were not significant. These findings confirm that some aspects of motor functioning are atypical in infants at elevated likelihood for autism spectrum disorder, but provide no support for the view that these issues are specifically linked to autism spectrum disorder symptoms, but may rather reflect neurodevelopment more generally. Lay abstract Atypicalities in motor functioning are often observed in later born infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder. The goal of our study was to investigate motor functioning in infants with and without familial history of autism spectrum disorder. Specifically, we investigated how infants catch a ball that is rolling toward them following a non-straight path, a task that requires both efficient planning and execution. Their performance was measured using detailed three-dimensional motion capture technology. We found that several early motor functioning measures were different in infants with an older autistic sibling compared to controls. However, these early motor measures were not related to autistic symptoms at the age of 2 years. Instead, we found that some of the early motor measures were related to their subsequent non-social, general development. The findings of our study help us understand motor functioning early in life and how motor functioning is related to other aspects of development.
