The Comparison of Language Ability in Preschool Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Developmental Delay
To investigate the specific differences in receptive and expressive language abilities in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental delay (DD)
and to provide recommendations for language rehabilitation for these children.
Method
2
25 preschool children with ASD and 18 preschool children with DD were assessed using the mandarin clinical evaluation of language for preschooler (MCELP).
Results
2
ASD Children had significantly lower rates of correct word comprehension and sentence comprehension than DD children of the same age
as well as significantly lower scores on the language comprehension
language expression
and overall language proficiency scales (
P
<
0.05). There were differences in the direction of errors in each assessment between the two groups of children. Most of the errors in vocabulary comprehension and sentence comprehension occurred in different question items and directions in both groups. Among the types of vocabulary naming errors
no response was dominant in ASD children and irrelevant description was dominant in DD children. Among the types of sentence structure imitation errors
both groups of children had mainly missing components in grammatical errors and content inconsistency in semantic errors
and the proportion of constituent structures was similar
but among the mixed errors
except for non-response
ASD children had mainly repeated example sentences and DD children had mainly reversed them.
Conclusion
2
Children with ASD and children with DD of the same age differ in their language abilities and exhibit different types of errors.
