Why is joint attention a pivotal skill in autism? (2003, background): “Although few, if any, well-controlled randomized control trials exist, numerous small series case studies have suggested that promoting the NVC competence of children with autism enhances the communicative use of the language (Rollins et al. 1998; Kasari et al. 2001).”
The Relationship Between Joint Attention and Language in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders (2008, background): “ Kasari et al. (2001) presented evidence of success in teaching joint attention skills in a case study of a child with ASD, and Hwang and Hughes (2000) examined directly teaching a variety of social-communicative acts, including joint attention to three boys with ASD.”
Evidence-Based Comprehensive Treatments for Early Autism (2008, background): “What skills are most important to target? As Kasari, Freeman, and Paparella ( 2001 ) pointed out, early intervention approaches for young children with autism often bear little resemblance to the research-based findings concerning early autism-specific deficits.”
Developmental deficits in social perception in autism: the role of the amygdala and fusiform face area (2005, background): “Moreover, treatment aimed at improving non-verbal communication skills can enhance formal language ability as well (Kasari et al., 2001).”
