Children with autism need to be taught in smaller groups, pilot study confirms
Date:7/2/2009

the hum of air conditioners or fans that we can easily ignore may adversely impact these children's ability to understand speech in the classroom.

"Our data show that the multisensory speech system develops relatively slowly across the childhood years and that considerable tuning of this system continues to occur even into early adolescence. Our data suggest that children with Autism lag almost 5 years behind typically developing children in this crucial multisensory ability."

Professor Foxe concluded that further studies may result in advances in the understanding of ASD and the communication abilities of individuals with autism by identifying the neural mechanisms that are at the root of these multisensory deficits. This will be an important step if viable intervention and training strategies are to be developed.
