“…This diagnosis is given when children show a delay in the development of precise and stable articulation that nevertheless does not meet the full diagnostic criteria for childhood dysarthria or CAS. Furthermore, recent studies of low or minimally verbal children with ASD also show that around a quarter of children show signs of CAS (Chenausky et al, 2019). It seems then that there is perhaps a subgroup of children with ASD that present with either significant or subtle motor speech difficulties, albeit not necessarily meeting the full criteria for CAS.…”

This study proposes a protocol for assessing speech motor control in children using maximum performance tasks with simultaneous acoustic and ultrasound recording. The protocol was piloted on eight children with autism spectrum disorders and nine typically developing children. Diadochokinesis rate, accuracy, and consistency were elicited using an imitation paradigm where speakers repeat mono-, bi-, and trisyllabic stimuli at increasing rates. Both traditional measures of rate, accuracy and consistency and an ultrasound tongue-shape analysis of slow versus fast productions were undertaken. Preliminary results suggest that the protocol is feasible with children with communication disorders. Instrumental measures suggest greater variability in tongue movements in the children with autism that is not detected using perceptual measures of accuracy. A subgroup of children with autism showed some evidence of differences in speech motor control. Ultrasound tongue imaging appears to be a useful method for gaining additional insight into speech motor control.

A BSTRACT Objectives: The purpose of the systematic review was to provide a summary and evaluation of oral sensory challenges in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Materials and Methods: The review evaluated 19 studies that met the inclusion and search criteria. The review is registered in Prospero Database (CRD42020179852). The 14 studies (8 case–control, 4 cohort, 1 observational, and 1 randomized clinical trial) were related to speech disorders and five studies (case–control studies) were associated with feeding and eating behavior in ASD. The meta-analysis of speech and feeding behavior was analyzed by using risk ratios (RRs) and standardized mean difference (SMD), with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The meta-analysis found a statistically significant difference of speech disorder between children and adolescents of ASD when compared with typically developed or other neurotypical children of similar age [0.4891 (95% CI = −2.4580; 1.4799), fixed effect; −0.1726 (95% CI = −14.2925; 7.5697), random effect]. Feeding and eating behavior reported a statistically significant difference between ASD children and adolescents with similar age group of typically developed controls [0.0433 (95% CI = −0.3531; 0.4398), fixed-effect; 0.3711 (95% CI = −3.0751; 3.8172), random effect]. Conclusion: The speech errors and feeding behavior were more consistent in ASD than in typically developed controls. The oral sensory challenges such as speech disorder and feeding behavior were more prevalent in ASD children and adolescents than in typically developed children and adolescents of the same age group. There was a significant lack in oral sensory-motor synchronization, incomplete motor planning, and poor oral neuromuscular coordination.

“…These children were seen as having severe injuries in different areas with one and another, and because of that, their expressive language and oral motor skills were passable with their abilities. Besides that, Chenausky et al (2019) investigated the extent of motor speech impairment from 54 low-verbal and minimally verbal ASD children. They found that there was a need to develop spoken language interventions to cater especially the minimally verbal individuals with autism.…”

Differences in the Spoken Discourse Produced by the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Children

Discourse is a social boundary that defines what statements can be said about a topic and discourse among special needs children is different. Additionally, social stories have been described as practical in educational practice and intervention. Therefore, the current research is trying to perceive the functional deficits of the ASD children by acknowledging the possibility of their autistic strengths. Likewise, the leap of research in the field of autism is enormous, and it is said to have increased dramatically in recent years.The current study uses qualitative data to provide details to the research objective; to compare the communicative intent of the spoken discourses produced by the low, medium and high functioning ASD children.There are four female and nine male ASD children selected as the sample for the study. The age is ranged from 9 to 11 years old. As for the instruments, the study utilises two main instruments; social stories and semi-structured interview questions. Nevertheless, to explain more about this phenomenon, the current research uses the Discourse Analysis Theory (Normaliza Abd Rahim, 2019). In the end, the current study is also succeeded in comparing the discourses of the ASD children according to their categories; LFA, MFA and HFA and coming up with the repertoire (list of utterances and gestures). For the communicative intent, two similarities are found; firstly, all the three groups; LFA, MFA and HFA demonstrate the seven communicative intent signals and secondly, their utterances match with the elements in the Discourse Analysis Theory (2019).
