Mirror mirror on the wall, what is the fairest early predictor of adult language ability?
Scientists study motor skills in early development not just because it is one of the first features to emerge, but because it is predictive of later social communication development, and as it turns out, later expressive language development. A new study combining data from 2 countries shows that early motor deficits predict language abilities all the way up to age 19, so focusing on early motor skills is imperative for early intervention. Also this week – a review on why those tiny details in genetics of ASD can be so helpful for people across the spectrum and families.
