Do you ever wonder how closely motor and language development are intertwined in children? Discerning the subtle ties between these two fundamental areas can be profoundly insightful, especially for those of us in the field of pediatric speech-language pathology! I am Denise Stratton, bringing you episode 89 of the Speech Umbrella, as we delve deep into this fascinating correlation, especially concerning children with autism. Drawing from a wealth of research, we underscore the reality that language impairment often goes hand-in-hand with motor skill development issues.
Let's dive into how motor skills might actually be the first domain where developmental divergence appears in children diagnosed with autism. We bring light to the valuable resource - the 16 actions with objects by 16 months - developed by the First Words Project. This tool has innovatively changed the game for me in my practice, and I can't wait to share it with you! Understanding and fostering the development of motor skills can lead to future gains in communication. So join me as we celebrate the power of simple therapies and their potential for improving outcomes in our young patients' lives.
