Background
Cognitively able autistic adults demonstrate low rates of employment due to social and vocational challenges. The current study aimed to examine changes in various areas among autistic young adults who participated in the ‘Roim Rachok’ (‘Looking Ahead’ in Hebrew) Training Course (RRTC). The course prepares young autistic adults for integ...

Oral retelling portrays what one understands from reading or listening to a text. The retold stories of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often show macrostructural (overall story structure) difficulties. The study’s purpose was to compare macrostructure oral story retelling, after reading (visual modality) or listening (auditory modalit...
This study examined the use of various communicative intentions (CIs) of mothers directed to their children in two contexts: playtime and mealtime at two linguistic stages: preverbal and single-word. The study revealed that statements were most prevalent during mealtime, while both statements and directives were prevalent during playtime. Particula...
The current study explored the characteristics of phonological errors of preschool children with DLD (Developmental Language Disorder), distinguishing between typical versus atypical phonological processes in segmental, syllabic and word levels. The analysis included 87 responses of words with phonological errors from a naming test, produced by 13...
Coda acquisition among Hebrew-speaking children with typical phonological development (TD) occurs between 2;6-4;0 years (Ben-David, 2015). Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a neurological childhood speech sound disorder resulting in poor speech intelligibility (ASHA, 2007). Currently, a lack of consensus exists regarding the specific phonologica...
Purpose
Our study aimed to analyze the characteristics of content word usage in mother's child-directed speech ( CDS) toward children with autism spectrum disorder compared to mother's CDS toward typically developing children.
Method
We analyzed the lexical characteristics of CDS of mothers of children with autism (16 dyads) and compared them from...
The present study examined the role of language capacities in explaining differences in social information processing (SIP) among three school-age groups: high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD, IQ > 75), children with specific learning disorder (SLD), and children with typical development (TD). Participants were 96 boys in Gr...
Speech sound disorder (SSD) is an umbrella term for a broad range of speech sound production dysfunctions that may relate to a linguistic impairment, motor speech impairment, or both (Strand & McCauley, 2008). The severity of SSD may range from mild - affecting a small subset of speech sounds, to a more widespread involvement of the phonological/li...
Speech sound disorder (SSD) includes speech impairment due to motor and/or cognitive-phonological impairment. Because of the heterogeneity of the disability, methods of assessment and treatment are varied, and speech language therapists (SLTs) find it difficult to decide which method to choose. Web questionnaires are one way to examine how SLTs ass...
Objectives:
Oral retelling is the restating of a text that was heard or read. Retelling demonstrates one's ability to identify relevant information of the previously heard (or read) text and integrate these ideas into a coherent narrative. Examining oral story retelling abilities enables delineating different levels of comprehension and is therefo...
The book Speech sound disorders in Hebrew: theoretical issues and clinical implications (Part A) deals with typical phonological acquisition, the various sound speech disorders and their implications, addressing the characteristics of the Hebrew language. The book includes a description of various sound speech disorders based on phonetic, phonologi...
In typical development, emergent literacy skills predict successful reading abilities. Code-related literacy skills may include letter knowledge, print concepts, early writing and early phonological awareness. Meaning-related literacy skills may include lexical and grammatical ability, story retelling and comprehension. Children with ASD (autism sp...
Despite the consensus in the literature regarding the importance of organizational abilities in performing daily tasks, currently there is no assessment that focuses exclusively on such abilities among young children. The study aims to develop a Questionnaire for Assessing Preschoolers’ Organizational Abilities (QAPOA), Parents’ and Teachers’ versi...
In this study, we videotaped two 10-min. free-play interactions and coded speech acts (SAs) in peer talk of 51 preschoolers (21 ASD, 30 typical), interacting with friend versus non-friend partners. Groups were matched for maternal education, IQ (verbal/nonverbal), and CA. We compared SAs by group (ASD/typical), by partner's friendship status (frien...
Introduction: To successfully participate in age appropriate occupations children
need good organizational abilities to manage their time and space. Adequate sensory
processing provides the foundation for the development of internal structures of time
and space. Children face one of the most significant crossroads in their lives during
preschool, w...
Background: Organizational abilities include the planning and implementation of various activities in the most efficient and quickest way. These abilities are required of children in all areas of life and influence their functioning. It is known that difficulty in verbal organization impedes children’s ability to participate optimally in daily acti...
Imitation and object naming are the first steps in language acquisition. While in typical development, imitation is easier than naming, there is a lack of agreement about the role of imitation in language impairment in general, and in Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), in particular. Hence, the aim of this study is to compare imitation and naming i...
Intra-word inconsistency in a child is perceived as an indicator of speech impairment. Because the speech of typically developing children is highly variable, the extent and nature of the inconsistency must be defined when used as a diagnostic marker of speech impairment (McLeod, S., & Hewett, S. R. (2008). Variability in the production of words co...
Written language is based on linguistic knowledge, and thus children with language impairment, primarily phonological impairment, may have difficulties in learning literacy. In this study, the spelling of phonologically impaired Hebrew-speaking children is compared with that of typically developing children. Twenty-five children participated in the...
This paper reports on a rare phenomenon in language development-the production of words without consonants, and thus syllables without an onset. Such words, which are referred as Consonant-free words (CFWs), appeared for a short period in the early speech of hearing impaired Hebrew-speaking children, who produced words consisting of one or two vowe...
