If you have a question about this talk, please contact Napoleon Katsos. People with autism are often perceived to have atypical prosody. This, coupled with the language impairment that is a diagnostic feature of autism, raises questions about the relationship between prosody and language in language acquisition. Recent projects have investigated receptive and expressive prosody skills in school-age children with autism spectrum disorders and compared them with those of age-matched and language-matched typically-developing children. Results suggest that while some prosodic skills are preserved in autism, others are impaired; and that although there are strong correlations between prosody and language skills the relationship between the two is complex and requires further research This talk is part of the RCEAL Tuesday Colloquia series.
