Article Synopsis
- The study examines how caregiver and child outcomes from a communication intervention differ when measured in family-selected settings versus standardized contexts for autistic toddlers and their caregivers.
- After an 8-week telehealth intervention with 22 dyads, results indicated no significant differences in intervention outcomes between the two contexts, though many families selected activities not available in standardized settings.
- The findings highlight the need for a broader approach to measuring intervention outcomes that reflects real family interactions and routines, ensuring they are meaningful and applicable to everyday life.
Article Synopsis
- Caregiver-mediated early interventions help caregivers use specific strategies to enhance communication skills in young autistic children.
- A clinical trial aimed to identify which strategies were most effective for improving both short-term and long-term communication outcomes in these children.
- The study found that caregiver prompts can significantly benefit children's language development, contributing to a better understanding of early intervention's role in enhancing child communication.
Article Synopsis
- - The CDC has revised its child development milestones to help monitor language development, specifically looking at expressive vocabulary as a key indicator.
- - A review of the methods used to establish these milestones revealed that the evidence is often conflicting or missing, and the samples studied do not accurately represent U.S. children.
- - The findings underscore the need for more extensive and culturally inclusive research to develop reliable and accurate developmental milestones for expressive vocabulary in U.S. children.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how effectively early intervention speech-language pathologists (SLPs) use naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) to support social communication in autistic toddlers, addressing the challenges of structured protocols in family-centered care.* -
- Observational data from 25 families showed SLPs implemented developmental NDBI strategies more effectively than behavioral ones, indicating a need for improved training in these methods to enhance their quality of intervention.* -
- The findings suggest that while SLPs cover a variety of skills and strategies during sessions, further research is necessary to explore the broader impact of NDBIs on communication and developmental areas, ensuring interventions align with family needs.*
Article Synopsis
- Parent-mediated interventions help parents enhance their autistic children's communication by teaching them language facilitation strategies.
- The study evaluates how various components of these interventions, as well as mothers' learning styles, impact their effectiveness.
- Results indicate that mothers found it easier to use responsive strategies over directive ones, and different learning styles affect how much benefit they gain from the interventions based on their prior use of these strategies.
Article Synopsis
- Children with autism spectrum disorder benefit from early intervention, particularly when parents actively implement treatment strategies at home.
- This study compares an efficient measurement tool to a more detailed, time-consuming one for assessing parent strategy use in interventions.
- Results show the efficient tool has good quality, agreement among scorers, and can effectively detect changes and differences in parent strategy use, supporting its use as a reliable outcome measure.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the challenges faced by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in implementing evidence-based practice (EBP), despite its endorsement by ASHA.
- Over 2,400 articles were reviewed from ASHA journals over 11 years, revealing that only 25% focused on clinical practice research.
- The findings highlight a significant lack of research on EBP implementation, indicating a need for more studies in this area and suggesting future collaborations between clinicians and researchers.
Importance: Training parents to implement strategies to support child language development is crucial to support long-term outcomes, given that as many as 2 of 5 children younger than 5 years have difficulty learning language.
Objective: To examine the association between parent training and language and communication outcomes in young children.
